BERKELEY, Calif./FOREST GROVE, Ore. - Junior sprinter Geronne Black broke the Portland State and Big Sky Conference all-time record for the women's 100-meter dash with a time of 11.52, Saturday afternoon in the event finals of the Brutus Hamilton Open/Invitational in Berkeley, Calif.
 
Black began the day by running a time of 11.61 in the event prelims, which was 0.03 second off her previous school record of 11.58, which she set two weeks ago at the Sacramento State MONDO Mid-Major Challenge.
 
Black then broke the school record for the second time this season, this time also breaking the Big Sky record with the time of 11.52 in the event finals. She finished second overall in the finals to Stanford's Shataya Hendricks. Black's time puts her 34th overall in the country and 14th in the West Region.
 
Black broke Joyce Rainwater of Eastern Washington's time of 11.55 in the outdoor 100-meters, which has been standing since 1995. Black now holds the Portland State and Big Sky all-time records in the women's indoor 60-meter dash and the women's outdoor 100-meter dash, both set this year.
