Pearson struggles in 1st race after injury, Harrison wins (Yahoo Sports)

Sally Pearson finished seventh in her first competitive 100-meter hurdles race in a year following a serious wrist injury, far behind an up-and-coming American who looks in prime shape to take the Australian’s Olympic title. Kendra Harrison won in 12.46 seconds at the Diamond League event in sunny Birmingham on Sunday, showing her stunning victory in Eugene last week – in 12.24, the second-fastest time ever – was no one-off. Pearson trailed home in 13.25, a time she described as ”disgusting,” but she had a good excuse.
