What I think is amazing is that Clora came to A&M with a 54.23 PR in the 400. In one year under Vince Anderson, she dropped more than three seconds from her PR and went to JUCO runner-up to NCAA Champion.
And it came at a school with virtually no prior accomplishments by its female quartermilers. A&M went from zero conference 400 champions to having the indoor and outdoor conference champion and the outdoor NCAA Champion.
