First Impressions - Keni Harrison

Published by IAAF on March 14, 2016

Keni Harrison, winner of IAAF World Indoor Tour 60m hurdles races in Karlsruhe and Glasgow, has enjoyed a blistering start to 2016.

The American hurdler will compete at the IAAF World Indoor Championships Portland 2016 later this week but took time out from her busy schedule to offer an insight into her world both on and off the track.

First Sport

From third grade I did the sport of gymnastics. I never competed on the travelling team but I took classes to be more competitive. It helped my track because it helped me to be able to manoeuvre my own bodyweight and helped my strength.
