She may not have won the race, but she won everyone's respect.well done

When it’s “the whole team” that’s gonna get disqualified, you get out there and do what needs to be done. I’ve done this on my high school team

[michellegamino]

What a champion...brings a new meaning to the phrase team player! Proud of you girl... you did good ❤

[loniz]

She did great... she's a hero...🥰

[ChubsPuffs]

You go, lady! 🥰 she’s definitely a champ for this!

[Spudtatochip]

Just threw herself from the hurdles and into our hearts.

She is amazing most people would not have stepped up like that

[snarfsnarf]

Lord knows we need more news like this in the world

[veeiman]

And she made history a bit as this is not her event and nkw she has hurdling stats and 100m stats

[nathangannon]

A giant next to the resr of the field and a treasure to her country. Awesome
