Joga Purty sets a new national record in the women's speed 4 event, clocking 7.28s on her second of the four attempts to qualify for the final 16.
She started with an 8.84s, but then improved it to 7.28s, shattering her previous best of 7.37s. This time was the 9th-best in the heats.
She had another good time of 7.30s in the Lane C and then a 10.88s in Lane D, but the 7.28s from Lane B proved to be her best.
Now, she will return tomorrow for the quarterfinals, where the 4 heats will have 4 athletes each, and the top two from each heat will qualify for the semis.
