She won the 55-meter hurdles (7.36) the 55 meters (6.69) and the 200 meters (23.56); and in the semifinals she broke the world record with 7.34 in the 55-meter hurdles (a time that to this day has been exceeded by only three athletes). <br>The Gator coach was Beverly Kearney, who moved to Texas in 1992 to accept the position as Head Coach at the University of Texas in Austin, where Freeman would later follow. It's an understatement to say that she is impressed by Freeman.  If you could every watch Michelle train, her intensity is such that it's inspiring. <br>Although many track athletes do not like indoor competitions, Freeman loved it.  For me, running indoors is not a bad thing, it's something that I enjoy. However, after she graduated from college she switched her focus to outdoor competitions and set her goals for the World Championships and the Olympics. The specialization paid off.<br>Freeman's best time in the 100 meter hurdles is 12.52, which ranked her number one in the world in 1997. She has also run a wind-aided time of 12.40. The current world record is 12.21 by Yordanka Donkova of Bulgaria.<br><br>A Champion's Training<br>As early as high school, Freeman has always included weight training in her conditioning program. Her core lifts, even throughout college, have been squats, snatches, cleans and clean and jerks. Auxiliary lifts include box squats and leg curls. She says she was taught from the beginning of her running career that the best weight training programs for her event would focus on the Olympic lifts, because they develop power, and squats, because they develop basic strength.<br>After the 1999 World Championships, Freeman sought the help of Canadian strength coach Charles Poliquin, whom she says helped her immensely with her lifting techniques. Coach Poliquin says Freeman is one of the most amazing athletes he has ever trained, as evidenced by her best lifts of 264x2 in the power clean, 375x3 in the parallel squat, and five reps in the parallel grip chin-up with 66 pounds strapped to her waist!<br>Asked about how Freeman's strength level compares to other sprinters and hurdlers, Kearney replied,  Michelle is probably ahead of about 95 percent of them. She's extremely strong and extremely explosive naturally, and the weight program has enhanced those qualities. <br>Another part of her training has been massage. For this, she praises Dr. Keith Pyne, who was able to work on Freeman when he lived in Dallas. <br>Using a therapy called Active Release Treatment Techniques (ART), Pyne was able to help Freeman avoid injuries and increase the intensity of her training.  What I would do with Michelle is not so much treat injuries, but make sure her gait patterns and kinetic firing patterns were in proper order to maximize her ability to perform. Active Release helps break up the fascial planes and scar tissue tha
