The British Virgin Islands continues to celebrate another extraordinary achievement from sprint sensation Adaejah Hodge, who delivered a memorable double performance at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon tonight, June 13.
Hodge captured gold in the 200 meters to crush the four-year-old NCAA Championship and Collegiate Record of 21.80 seconds set by Abby Steiner with a quick 21.68 seconds.
In essence, her world-leading time set a new national record, personal best, meet record and collegiate record.
Earlier in the evening, Hode captured the silver medal in the women’s 100 metres final.
The BVI national record holder stormed across the line in 10.93 seconds, finishing second 2nd to Florida State’s Shenese Walker, who ran 10.88.
Hodge’s achievement is particularly historic as she becomes the first athlete from the British Virgin Islands to contest, and medal in the sprint double at the NCAA Division I Championships.
Earlier in the championships, Hodge stunned the track and field world with a blistering 10.63-second performance in the semifinals, breaking the collegiate record and becoming the fifth-fastest woman in history over 100 metres.
She now stands among the fastest women in the world and continues to establish herself as one of the sport’s most exciting young stars.
