Jayla Kirkland Shows Off Range With Big 400m PR
IAAF World Youth medalist Jayla Kirkland is well-known for being a short sprinter, but she recently upped her game with a huge three-second PR in the quarter-mile. The FSU commit and four-time national champion ranks US #1 in the 400m thanks to her new 54.43 best. With PRs of 7.45 for 60m, 11.41 for 100m and 23.15 for 200m, Kirkland doesn't race the 400m much and her prior PR of 57.18 dates back to her freshman year of high school in 2014.
In the post-race interview, she says she's not sure what event she will focus on this season.
