NEW YORK -

He crossed the line in 7.36 seconds to equal his own world lead, five hundredths of a second ahead of Cameron Murray, punching his ticket to the World Athletics Indoor Championships that run from March 21-23 in Nanjing, China.

The 27-year-old world record holder, who according to USA Track and Field extended his unbeaten streak in the event to 76 races since 2015, hopes to become the first hurdler to "three-peat" and match his trio of outdoor world titles in the 110m.

"Getting ready to try to make history, do something that nobody's ever seen before, three indoors, three outdoors," Holloway, who won his elusive first Olympic gold in Paris last summer, told reporters on Staten Island.
