Winslow’s Shakira Dancy, now a Michigan State senior, ran a personal-best 23.53 in the 200 trials Friday at the Big Ten Championships in Bloomington, Ind.
Dancy’s race was wind-legal at 0.1 meters per second. She advanced to the 200 final at 2:42 p.m. Sunday. The cutoff for the nine-lane final was 23.59.
Dancy’s previous 200 PR was a 23.69 in the prelims of the 2021 Big Ten Championships in Champaign, Ill.
Dancy spent two indoor seasons at Florida but because of the 2020 season getting wiped out by COVID she didn’t race outdoors in 2019 or 2020.
