Jeshua Anderson, a freshman at Washington State, bettered his personal and school-record time to win the men's 400-meter hurdles Friday at the International Association of Athletics Federations World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Jeshua Anderson, a freshman at Washington State, bettered his personal and school-record time to win the men's 400-meter hurdles Friday at the International Association of Athletics Federations World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Anderson won the eight-man final race in 48.68 seconds, lowering his personal record and school record by .01 seconds. The other U.S. competitor in the race, Johnny Dutch of the University of South Carolina, finished second in 49.25.

"I knew Johnny was going to be right on me, so I wanted to finish strong and keep my composure," Anderson said.

Anderson had set his previous record at the NCAA Championship final last month in Des Moines, Iowa. He ran at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore., last month; he finished ninth in the men's intermediate hurdles semifinals (48.92).
