Filipino-American athletes Lauren Hoffman and Robyn Brown took the top two spots in the women’s 400-meter hurdles in the Hong Kong Athletics Championships Saturday at the Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground in Hong Kong.
Hoffman, who is aiming for a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics, clocked in 57.15 seconds for the gold medal in the eight-woman contest.
Hoffman’s latest clocking wasn’t exactly exemplary since her best time recorded — 55.72 — happened last March at the Drake Relays in Iowa.
Brown, who won the gold medal in the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships in India, settled for a silver with a time of 57.59 seconds.
Hometown bet Ashleigh Ma Ying Wen clinched the bronze after submitting a time of one minute and 4.02 seconds.
