strongest headwind in NCAA meet history

[Charley Shaffer]

From the CBS broadcast, one can see that Ohanaja was very close to the inside edge of her lane 6 very soon after the start, and stayed near the edge for the entire race.

At hurdle 8, she clipped the lane 5 hurdle slightly. At hurdle 9, she knocked over the lane 5 hurdle!

If she had been properly DQed LSU would have lost 3 points, still winning the team title but only by 1 point. The hurdle judges need to use their eyes!
