A week of great performances at the World Athletics U20 Championships came to an end in bronze-medal style Sunday in Nairobi.
Savannah Sutherland won bronze in the women’s 400-metre hurdles, in a personal best time of 57.27 seconds. “My legs felt a little heavy going into it, but I went out there and left it all on the track and that’s all I can ask for. I had a personal best, so I’m happy with that,” said Sutherland. “It has been a little overwhelming being at my first international competition. It has been a little bit of a crazy experience, but it has been very positive overall.
