(Pinkney) has had hamstring problems in the past, but he's gotten over that this year. I felt that running the 100 would help him run faster in the hurdles and we will need the additional scoring in the Big Tens.
He ran well. He got off to a real good start, tripped up on a few hurdles in the middle, but what counts is that he scored and earned All-America recognition. I think this is redemption for being left out of last year's indoor meet.
