Another week, another record-breaking performance in women's track and field. At Florida's Tom Jones Memorial track meet, LSU sprinter Favour Ofili blazed her way to a new collegiate record in the 200 meters.

Watch the race below:

Ofili finished in 21.96 seconds (+1.3) to set a new collegiate record in the 200 meters. She broke the previous record of 22.02 seconds, set by Florida’s Kyra Jefferson in 2017.
