KENDRA HARRISON LIT up the London Anniversary Games as she broke a 28-year-old world record in the 100m hurdles.

Harrison’s blistering time of 12.20 was one-hundredth of a second faster than the longstanding record set by Bulgaria’s Yordanka Donkova back in 1988.

It was an unforgettable night for the 23-year-old American who will not be at the Rio Olympics next month — because she wasn’t fast enough at the US Olympic trials.

Despite running a super 12.24 earlier this season, Harrison disappointed at the trials earlier this month and only finished sixth.

“Not making the Olympic team, I was really upset and wanted to come here and show what I could have done,” Harrison told the BBC.

“I had vengeance on my mind and wanted to show the girls what I had.

“I trained so hard for this moment. Good luck to the girls running in Rio, but I am just shocked now.”

Harrison was 0.37 seconds quicker than US team-mate Brianna Rollins who took second in 12.57 with Kirsti Castlin completing an American 1-2-3 in 12.59.
