Weight thrower Daniel Haugh and hurdler Grant Holloway set world record and hurdler Tia Jones tied a world record on Friday at the USA Track & Field Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M.
Haugh won the men’s weight throw with an attempt of 86 feet, 5 1/2 inches, topping the mark of 84-10 1/4 set by Lance Deal on March 4, 1995 — two months before Haugh was born. Isaiah Rogers came in second at 80-1, and Tanner Berg took third at 76-9 3/4.
In the men’s 60-meter hurdle preliminaries, Holloway produced a 7.27-second heat. He bettered his own world-record mark of 7.29, established on Feb. 24, 2021, in Madrid.
Holloway did not run in the event’s final, which Trey Cunningham won in 7.39 seconds. Cameron Murray took second at 7.45, and Daniel Roberts came in third at 7.48.
Jones ran a 7.67 in the women’s 60-meter hurdle preliminaries, matching the mark established just five days earlier by the Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton at the Millrose Games in New York.
Jones went on to win the event’s final in 7.68 seconds, edging Jasmine Jones (7.78) and Masai Russell (7.80).
