Harrison beat the previous record of 12.21sec set by Bulgaria&rsquo;s Yordanka Donkova back on August 20, 1988. &ldquo;After prelims on Friday, I finally got my confidence back,&rdquo; said Harrison, who had been plunged into despair by her failure to punch her Rio ticket at the US trials.
&ldquo;My practices after trials were great, so going into the race, I had so much vengeance and so many emotions inside of me. To see that time, I was really happy.
&ldquo;After the trials, we went back to see where we went wrong,&rdquo; Harrison said. &ldquo;The pressure got to me. To make myself feel better, I told myself to make the team with the same mindset I&rsquo;ve had all year, which is to dominate.&rdquo;&nbsp;
