Sprinter Sanaa Morris tested her mettle against a high-calibre field this weekend as her senior indoor season for Howard University gathered pace in Philadelphia.
Competing at the 2026 Penn Elite meet, Morris traveled to the Jane and David Ott Center to line up against some of the region’s most promising collegiate talent. The Howard standout first took to the blocks in the 60m preliminaries, where she powered across the line in a time of 8.07 seconds. In a heavily contested sprint field, the performance saw her finish 30th overall as she looked to fine-tune her explosive starts early in the campaign.
Morris later shifted her focus to the 400m, an event where she has consistently shown her strength and tactical awareness. Maintaining a strong rhythm throughout the two-lap contest, she clocked a solid 57.83 seconds to secure 15th place. The result serves as another building block for the Bermudian international as she continues to sharpen her speed endurance ahead of the major conference championships.
Having already established herself as a key figure for the Howard Bison, Morris will be looking to shave further fractions off her times as the indoor circuit moves toward its peak in the coming weeks.
