PHILIPPINES – Senior Georgia Southern hurdler Izlyn Zaini represented her country in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games over the past weekend where she won a bronze medal for her native land of Singapore.
 
The 30^th SEA Games hosted 9,000 athletes representing 11 countries in 530 events across 56 sports. Zaini ran a 13.92 in the 100m hurdles to claim third behind Emilia Nova (1^st-13.61) of Indonesia and Yen Hoa Tran Thi (2^nd-13.75) of Vietnam.
