Perdita
Felicien not only defended her NCAA 100 hurdles title for Illinois in 2003, but
took a tremendous step up on the world stage to become Canada's first woman
world champion. After winning in Paris, the Pickering, Ontario, native opted to
accept her $60,000 prize and forego her one remaining season of indoor-only
eligibilty with the Illini. Had Felicien returned for her final collegiate
fling, she would have aimed to recapture the NCAA Indoor 60H crown she won in
’02 but was thwarted in defending.
Felicien's mother chose her daughter's unusual first name after viewing
a television game show on which a contestant with that name appeared. The
quick-witted Felicien quipped in Paris that she would use a portion of her new
income as a pro to take her Mom to Los Angeles to see a taping of "The
Price Is Right," the long-running tube favorite from whence came her name. |
