PETALING JAYA: Malaysian track star Shereen Vallabouy has emerged queen of indoor 400m in second-tier US college athletics but there is silence in Malaysia over her stunning achievement.
Her win was spectacular: nearly 300 teams and over 1,000 individual athletes contested the women’s indoor 400m title at the start of the 2021-22 US National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) division II track and field campaign.
Last Saturday, Shereen, 23, was the best of the best 400m racers, running with panache to set a new championship mark and a Malaysian record of 53.79s at Pittsburg State University, Kansas.
Her achievement followed an outstanding indoor campaign in which she ran 54.94s last month to rewrite the 12-year-old Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record.
