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 nclude 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 that would form from the stress of being an athlete at that level. <br>At the 1996 Olympics, Freeman channeled her great focus while maintaining proper sprint mechanics to place 6th in the 100-meter hurdles. Now this powerful athlete is focusing on the next 2004 Olympics. Michelle Freeman looks forward to pulling out all the stops and running as fast as she can to claim her goal: the title of Fastest Woman in the World.ichelle Freeman is a track and field athlete <br> who runs too fast. Seriously. She's and Army. He took the ACT test three times to get a score of 25 which got him a scholarship to Stanford.  However, said Rob,  I finally decided to stay in my home state because of Coach Smith but I don't think I was coveted at all coming out of high school.<br> We did the BFS program in high school. It gave me a great start here at Missouri. Strength and Conditioning is the present and future of athletics. I read the BFS Journals and I remember the article on Steve Emtman (U. of Washington). He was astonishing. It was motivating an inspiring. <br>Rob redshirted his first year and played defense. The following spring they moved him to offensive guard and he promptly started nine games. Rob's sophomore year saw yet another change. Because the centers graduated, he was moved to that position.  I've got lateral quickness, Rob avowed.  So things have worked out well. <br>That is an unders
