April 14, 2024, 8:10 pmLauren Hoffman, refreshed by the warm and sunny weather, once again toppled a Philippine national record with training partner Angel Frank, this time at the Duke Invitational Athletics meet on Saturday in Durham, North Carolina.
Hoffman, who also won a gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles, fought off a slight headwind of 0.8 meter/second that barely slowed her down, allowing her to blow away the 17-year-old national mark of Sheena Atilano. So far, Hoffman has smashed three Philippine marks, ripping the women’s 400-meter hurdles’ time last March and the indoor women’s 400-meter clocking twice last February.
Last January, Hoffman beat Kayla Richardson’s six-year-old national clocking of 54.94 seconds in the 2024 Bob Pollock Invitational indoor athletics meet in Clemson, South Carolina at 53.91 seconds.
