Greetings BBN. Here’s to hoping you’re having a lovely weekend with friends and family!
What more is there to say about Kentucky Wildcats track and field legend Abby Steiner, who continues to show everyone she’s one of the world’s best athletes in any sport.
Steiner’s latest accomplishment came Saturday when she broke the women’s 200-meter collegiate record with a time of 21.80 seconds at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
That helped the Kentucky women’s track and field team finish third at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, including UK’s 4x400m relay of Steiner, Karimah Davis, Dajour Miles, and Alexis Holmes winning the national championship!
Another banner day for UK Athletics.
