It’s been a dominant weekend for former Kentucky track and field stars in Eugene, OR, but all eyes were locked in on Abby Steiner and Team USA on Saturday night.
A one-time Wildcat superstar turned Team USA representative, Steiner won her first World Athletics title as the second leg of the Team USA 4x100m, which won the race in 41.14 and upset the Jamaicans with the fifth fastest time in world history and fastest on American soil. Steiner ran a 9.86 split, the fastest among Team USA athletes, and tied for third-fastest in the race.
That 4x100m marked Steiner’s 56th race over seven months, including silver at the NCAA Championships in the 4x100m with UKTF.
