BOSTON, Mass. - TCU redshirt sprinter Jessica Young placed fifth overall in the women's 60-meter finals on Sunday at the 2008 AT&T USA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Young crossed the finish line with a time of 7.25 at the Reggie Lewis Center, on the campus of Roxbury Community College. Angela Williams of Nike turned in the fastest time of the day by clocking a time of 7.11 seconds to win the event.
Earlier in the day, Young posted the second fastest preliminary time in the women's 60-meter prelims by logging a time of 7.25 to finish second in her heat.
Also on Sunday, former TCU great Khadevis Robinson won the men's 800 meters with a time of 1:46.95. Robinson beat defending U.S. indoor champion Nick Symmonds by .01 seconds to win the event.
"I had to dig from the heart today. My legs were shot on the last lap. I'm happy with the win and the fast time," said Robinson.
TCU will travel to Colorado for the Mountain West Conference Championships at the Air Force Academy this week. The conference meet will begin on Feb. 28.
