Hodge to feature in 100m Final on Saturday

Hodge, who advances to the final set for Saturday, June 13, 2026, now stands as the NCAA #3 of all time and #5 in the world.

Louisiana State University (LSU) student Shawnti Jackson also advanced automatically, finishing second in 10.88, a strong time that was still left far behind by Hodge’s record-smashing run.
