Freshman
View Full Bio

All three of the Blackbirds who comprised LIU’s 1-2-3 finish in 60m hurdles at last year’s NEC Indoor Championships have graduated, but the Brooklyn-based school may very well produce the champion in that event for the fifth consecutive year. First-year Blackbird Shanice Grant (8.a60) is the current league leader in the 60m hurdles. In her final tuneup for the NEC Indoor Championships, Grant ran the race in 8.65s at the NYC Armory Collegiate Invitational. The Jamaican-born hurdler edged out UConn’s Chantal Scott to win her heat, which also contained competitors Texas A&M, Temple and Mississippi State.
