Over the weekend, hurdler Jasmine Jones fulfilled a dream by qualifying for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris with a 52.77 400 hurdle time.  It was her personal best and when you compare it to the best in American history, there are only three people with better times.  Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone holds the record with a 50.65 (she also holds the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best times.  The next closest is Dalilah Muhammad with a 51.58.  The two of those runners hold the 10 best times in the country.  Anna Cockerell ran a 52.68.

Jasmine Jones is the daughter of former Buffalo Bills safety Henry Jones

You might remember Henry Jones from his time with the Buffalo Bills.  He was a safety who was drafted by the Bills in the first round of the 1991 NFL Draft.

He was the first and is still the only Buffalo Bill to have two pick-sixes in one game.  It happened in 1992 during a game against the Colts.  The second pick-six was over 80 yards for the touchdown.
