In case you missed – and you likely did because the IAAF World Track and Field Championships have generated zero media coverage in the United States – former ACU standout Delloreen Ennis-London (left in photo above) finished third in the final of the 100-meter hurdles Wednesday at Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
Ennis-London – who won eight NCAA Division II national championships in the hurdles for the Wildcats from 1996-99 – won the bronze with a time of 12.55 seconds, finished just .04 of a second behind new world champion Brigitte Foster-Hylton (12.51; right in above photo), Ennis-London's Jamaican teammate.
Ennis-London's time is her best of the season and the fifth-best performance of her career. The 33-year-old Ennis-London is still running well on the European circuit, and two months ago won the 100 meters at the Ostrava Golden Spike in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia, with a time of 12.79 seconds.
