DES MOINES, Iowa - John Yarbrough won the preliminaries of the 110 meter hurdles on Friday at the Drake Relays with a personal best time of 13.94. On Saturday Yarbrough one upped himself to win the finals of the 110 meter hurdles with a record time of 13.71.
"John just ran an amazing race today," said Ole Miss head coach Joe Walker, who coached last year's NCAA Indoor 60 meter hurdles champion Antwon Hicks. "John told me he wanted to win a title and I told him that there is no better place to do that than the Drake Relays."
Yarbrough winning time of 13.71 moved him into third place in Ole Miss history, behind NCAA All-America hurdlers Tony Dees and Antwon Hicks. Yarbrough`s title was the first for Ole Miss since Clarence Daniels and Tony Dees both took home titles in 1984.
"This victory is what I have been working for," said Yarbrough, a sophomore from Houston, Texas. "To win a title at one of the most prestigious meets in the country has been a goal since I came to Ole Miss."
Ed McCall also ran in the finals of the 100 meter dash, finishing in seventh place. McCall's time of 10.80 was identical to his preliminaries time.
`The conditions were rough today," said Walker. "The wind and the rain made it very difficult for the athletes. I am very proud of what Ed and John were able to accomplish."
Ole Miss is off next weekend as they prepare for the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships beginning May 11, in Fayetteville, Ark.
