Career

[edit]

She broke onto the world scene in 1999 when she improved her best by more than half a second. Achieving the result of 12.52 in 2000, she finished fourth at the 2000 Olympics. In Athens 2004, however, she only reached the semi-final. She did not beat her own personal best until April 2004 in Denton, Texas, when she lowered it by 1/100 second.

She won the 100 m hurdles at the 2009 national championships, giving her the opportunity to compete at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin that year where she won another bronze medal.[1]

Delloreen is coached by Remi Korchemny.
