"Bigga" Time for Thomas in Oslo - National Record 13:15s

Dwight "Bigga" Thomas

Congratulations to Dwight Thomas on breaking his own 110m Hurdles National Record of 13:16s, lowering it to 13:15s.  He also improved his season's best of 13:18s and judging from his execution of the race it seems he could have ran a faster time.  The season is still young and Thomas has enough time to get his technique together and  lower the record even further before the end of the season.

It would be a real distinction for Thomas' career if he can take Jamaica's sprint hurdling into the sub 13 seconds realm.
