Hannah Cunliffe, an adidas professional and collegiate co-record holder in the indoor 60-meter dash during her career at Oregon, joins DyeStat editor Erik Boal to discuss her wind-legal performance of 11.14 seconds in the 100-meter dash July 4 at the Showdown in OTown at Montverde Academy in Florida. Cunliffe took second to collegiate 100-meter record holder Sha'Carri Richardson, a Nike professional who clocked 11.05 as they produced the top two wind-legal performances in the world this year. It marked the fastest time run by Cunliffe since her wind-legal 11.12 effort at the 2017 USATF Outdoor Championships in Sacramento, Calif. She reflects on her career journey the past three years since leaving Oregon, where she also won the 2017 Division 1 indoor 60-meter title, and the challenges she has faced physically on the track and emotionally away from training and competition. Cunliffe, 24, shares that she feels in better shape than when she ran a personal-best 10.99 in the 100 in April 16 at the Mt. SAC Relays at Cerritos College and looks to also continue improvement in the 200 meters as the summer progresses. She revisits the opportunity she had to be a mentor at a youth clinic in February that was connected with the NYRR Millrose Games and how important it is for her to connect with younger athletes to help inspire and motivate them in track and field throughout their careers. Cunliffe also talks about how important it is for athletes to use their voice and platform to not only speak on subjects involving racial and social injustice and inequality, but also to hold management, agencies and sponsors accountable for what issues they are supporting and how they are promoting change and reform within the sport, as well as within their own communities. She looks ahead to the 2021 Olympic Trials at the renovated Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., and expresses how meaningful it would be for her to earn a spot on the U.S. roster to compete in Tokyo in a city where she is connected to with so much history during her career with the Ducks.
