American track star Keni Harrison is over the moon about the small family reunion she’s about to have in Eugene, Oregon.
The world record-holder and Olympic silver medalist in the 100-meter hurdles has competed in five global outdoor track and field championship events since 2015—and all of those events have been held at faraway international destinations. It’s been rare that her parents or any of her nine siblings have been able to see her perform on the world’s biggest stage.
The 29-year-old Harrison is stoked about having the world championships of track and field held on U.S. soil for the first time July 15-24 in Eugene, Oregon. She enters the World Athletics Championships with the world-leading time in her event (and is among the favorites to win gold) and will have at least 10 family members cheering her on from the stands of the newly renovated Hayward Field track stadium.
