With Eye On World Cup, Virginia Powell Ready To Resume Action In Stockholm - Track Profile
Newly crowned US 100m hurdles champion Virginia Powell has been conspicuous by her absence from this summer’s European circuit - by choice fortunately and not circumstance.

The 22-year-old rocked the athletics world June 9th when she set a collegiate record of 12.48 seconds in winning her second consecutive NCAA title in her specialty...

...Two weeks later she won her first USATF Championship...

...Powell graduated from USC this year with a degree in Public Policy and Public Management Planning and then promptly signed an endorsement contract with Nike. Her college coach...remains her mentor and she has a business advisor but so far she has shunned the approaches of various athlete agents preferring to contact meet directors herself by email...
