My Take
Brianna Rollins-McNeal earns my outright awe. The 100 metre hurdles demand nerve and precision in equal measure, and she stacked a 2013 world title, a 2016 Olympic gold, and a 12.26 that ranks among the fastest ever run. What strikes me most is the arc, from a Miami high school through Clemson, where her Bowerman Award already flagged her as the real thing. Sprint hurdling punishes hesitation, so reaching the top of it takes a particular fearlessness. I have nothing but respect for athletes who climb from local roots to the summit of their sport, and she did exactly that.
