Shereen Samson Vallabouy, the national champion in the women’s 400m, holds the 92nd position globally and stands as the fourth-best performer in Asia. Her coach, Derrick White from the United States, has set an ambitious target for her, aspiring to see Shereen achieve a time below 51 seconds by the end of May in her pursuit of qualifying for the Paris Olympics.
The inspiring athlete from Perak, who currently holds the national record with a time of 51.80 seconds, must aim to complete the race in 50.95 seconds to secure a spot in the Olympics. Under White’s diligent guidance since June 2023 in Florida, Shereen has been undergoing focused and specialised training that emphasises a combination of speed and strength.
As reported in NST, the scheduling of Shereen’s initial competition for the season remains uncertain as it depends on her readiness. According to White, it is anticipated that Shereen will participate in two indoor meets and 10 outdoor competitions.
