Masai Russell is becoming a force to reckon with on track and field. Here is why the American is primed to succeed in the 100m hurdles.
The women’s 100m Hurdles has always been keenly contested in recent years, making it one of the most competitive races ever.
The races are decided by hundredths of a second, and a clipped barrier can end a dream, if no attention is given to the devastating effects. Masai Russell has figured out how to stay calm, focused, and, most of all, becoming faster and seeking self-improvement.

'I Chose Not To Speak' - Fred Kerley Breaks Silence After Arrest
Fred Kerley has finally spoken after he was arrested for alleged assault.
Russell clocked 12.17s to break the American record in Miami, passing Kendra Harrison’s 12.20 mark from 2016 as previously reported by Pulse Sports Kenya. In doing so, the 24-year-old became the second-fastest woman ever in the event, trailing only Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, who set the world record at 12.12 in Oregon two years ago.
Behind Russell was Tia Jones, who also ran the race of her life in 12.19 to become the third-fastest woman ever.
Consistency - key gamechanger
)
Russell's outdoor season hadn’t given any major signs of something this big until now. She started the year strong indoors, going undefeated and winning the U.S. title. She skipped World Indoors, perhaps preserving her body for later. But once the outdoor season started, her results were modest.

Harambee Stars Coach Benni McCarthy Snubs Bafana Bafana As He Declares Allegiance
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has declared his allegiance if Kenya and his beloved South Africa's Bafana Bafana encounter each other.
A fifth-place finish in Kingston and only one win in three outdoor appearances, her best being a 12.74 at Drake into a headwind, left plenty of questions. The 100m hurdles doesn’t allow much room for error. Ten barriers, all equally spaced, demand a perfect blend of speed, timing, and poise. One mistake, one rushed step, one off rhythm can blow the whole thing up.
Running in the first race of the evening on May 2, in 80-degree Florida heat with a perfect +2.0 m/s wind at her back, Russell found her rhythm early and kept it through the finish. She didn’t separate herself by much; Jones was right there, but it was enough. That kind of competition may have been what pushed her over the edge. Just 0.02 seconds separated them at the line.
What’s most remarkable about Russell’s run is that it didn’t come from someone just starting to figure things out; it came from someone who’s been steadily building to this moment.
In 2023, she set the NCAA record of 12.36 while running for the University of Kentucky. She then went on to win Olympic Gold in Paris in 2024 in her rookie professional season. Later that year, she ran 12.25 to move up to fifth on the all-time list.
Maturity guiding Russell
)
Each performance nudged her a little closer to this result. There’s a steadiness in how Russell carries herself now. Not arrogant, not aloof—just locked in.
She’s no longer just another American hurdler in a crowded field. She’s the best one. And she might just be getting started.
