Queen Harrison suffers season ending injury MileSplit Staff May 19, 2005

Hermitage hurdler star Queen Harrison suffered an unfortunate season ending injury at last night\'s Colonial District Meet. On the Wednesday portion of the Colonial District Meet at Douglas Freeman High School, Harrison was competing in the trials of the 300 meter hurdles. Out in the lead in her heat, Harrison hit the sixth hurdle and fell to the ground. She was able to get up and chase down the runners that passed her in the fall and win the heat in dramatic fashion. However, it was later learned that she suffered a broken collar bone and that it would take four to six weeks to heal. Harrison was just coming off a great performance at last Friday\'s Southern Track Classic where she posted the state\'s fastest time in a personal best time of 43.17 for the 300 meter low hurdles event and seemed to poise to win the state crown this June. Hopefully, Harrison will have a speedy recovery and begin preparation for a stellar senior season next year.
