Stanford's Carter Sets College 400 Hurdle Mark

EUGENE, Ore. (CBS/AP) -- Stanford junior Kori Carter won 400-meter hurdles in a collegiate-record 53:21 seconds Friday in the NCAA outdoor track and field championships.

Carter broke the mark of 53.54 set by UCLA's Sheena Johnson at the NCAA outdoor championships in 2004. It was the fastest time in the world this season.

Carter bested rival Georganne Moline of Arizona, who finished second in 53.72 in sunny conditions at Oregon's Hayward Field.
