Former Lady Vol Tianna Madison has qualified for Saturday's semifinals 100-meter sprint.

She was among seven sprinters who ran the 100 meters in 11 seconds or better Friday night.

That's in comparison to the same race four years ago in Beijing, only one sprinter ran 11 seconds or better -- Kerron Stewart with a time of 10.98 seconds.
