Longwood‘s Arielle Desir also looks to be gearing up for a successful postseason. Desir won the 100 in 12.44 seconds, the 200 in 25.54, and was on the 4 x 100 team that won in 50.18.
“I was definitely happy with my finish,” Desir said after her victory in the 100. “I think I came to compete and I did exactly that . . . I would have liked to get out a little bit quicker, but there’s still time left . It’s definitely a point that I can improve on.”
Desir didn’t have time to dwell on the less-than-perfect start. Sprinters must be two things – quick on their feet and easily forgetful.
“It’s all in your head,” she said. “That part of the race is over. You move on to the next and keep driving to the finish line.” May 18
