No sooner than Clemson junior Brianna Rollins set the collegiate record in the 100-meter hurdles, she was asked when she was going to break it.Like, maybe in Saturday's final at the NCAA track and field championships?"We'll see," she said with a smile.Rollins broke the record Thursday in her heat of the semifinals at Hayward Field, finishing in a wind-legal 12.47 seconds. That bested the mark of 12.48 set by USC's Ginnie Powell at the 2006 NCAA outdoor championships in Sacramento, Calif. It was also the best time overall in the world this season.
"I was nervous, but very excited," she said. "It is such a blessing to come to the preliminaries and end up breaking a record, which is something that I have been working toward." Earlier this year, the 21-year old set a championship meet mark in the 60 hurdles with a 7.79 for the NCAA indoor title.
