This is an early season meet. Kemar Bailey Cole, the 2014 Commonwealth Champion, won the 100 meters in 10.01. Asafa Powell won the 200 in 20.45. But the real news was on the women’s side of the meet. Elaine Thompson won the 100 meters in 10.71, with English Gardner second in 10.85! In the 200 meters, Shaunae Miller, from the Bahamas ran 22.14! In the women’s 400m, Francesca McCorory won in 50.52. But the depth department winner was the women’s 100m hurdles, with Brianna Rollins in 12.52, Queen Harrison in 12.54 and Danielle Williams, JAM, in 12.54!
Also nice to see Alexa Efframson winning the 1,500 meters in 4:08.37. Just part of a busy weekend in athletics!
