Emory University junior Electra Korn won three events at the Emory Classic last weekend, each in personal-best times that rank among the top-ten among NCAA Division III competitors this season. Korn finished first in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:02.39, bettering her previous career-best mark by over a second for the second-straight week. Her time in the event is the third-fastest in Division III this season, and was the second-fastest in school history, just .16 seconds off the program record. She won the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.45 seconds, the eighth-fastest time in Division III this year. Korn added an event win in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.39 seconds, a .99-second improvement on her previous personal best, and tied for the ninth-fastest time in Division III. All three marks were the fastest by a University Athletic Association (UAA) competitor in 2014. Korn contributed 30 points towards the Eagles’ team total, helping the Eagles finish first out of 13 teams at the meet.
