Edwin Allen’s devastating 43.80 secs run on Wednesday’s (19 Feb) final day of Central Champs at GC Foster College – stand tall on the world’s all-time list.

The destructive quartet – Serena Cole, 16, Tina Clayton, 15, Brandy Hall, 17, and Tia Clayton, 15, in that order, was responsible for a run which will be on the lips of track and field fans for some time.

Michael Dyke, Edwin Allen’s head coach, described the run as an “outstanding performance anywhere in the world.”

Tia Clayton said: “I am kind of in shock.”
“I knew we could have gone that fast but didn’t expect it to come today,” she was quoted in local media.

Let’s put the time into perspective and put aside that its a Central Champs record.

Cole and Tina first leg change was poor. Tina, who was out too early and had to be looking back, forced Cole to stretch desperately to make the change. The second change was a little better, but wasn’t the best, while the final handover, Hall almost ran up in Tia Clayton to make the change.

Smoother passes could have gotten them closer to Jamaica’s U20 record of 43.40, set back in 2002 with Sherone Simpson, Kerron Stewart, Anneisha McLaughlin and Simone Facey. Jamaica won the World U20 title in Kingston.

The world U20 record is 43.27, set by Germany in 2017. The German quartet of Kathrin Fehm, Keisha Kwadwo, Sophia Junk and Jennifer Montag eclipsed the previous record of 43.29 set by a US squad in 2006.

In 2019 at the Penn Relays, Serena Cole, Kevona Davis and twin sisters Tina and Tia Clayton, set a new Penn Relays and World High School record of 43.62 seconds.

The Champs record, any class, is 44.17 put down by Edwin Allen’s quartet of Christania Williams, Saqukine Cameron, Camira Haughton and Claudette Allen in 2014.

Cole, Tia and Tina Clayton, along with Johnson, at Champs 2019, combined for a destructive 44.25 seconds to win Class 3 and the second-fastest in any class ever at Champs.

Let’s take a look at the Carifta Games records, all held by Jamaica.

The U20 record is 44.08, set by Jamaica with Christania Williams, Deandra Whitehorne, Celia Walters and Shericka Jackson in 2011.

Shellece Clarke, Shanice Reid, Natalliah White and Kimone Shaw set the U18 mark of 44.81 in 2014.

Two of the ladies from Edwin Allen’s destructive team, Serena Cole and Tia Clayton, along with Briana Williams and Sashieka Steele, established the U17 Carifta Games record of 44.95 in 2018.

The American High School record is 44.24 by DeSoto from Texas, set in 2019.

Contrary to reports that world top sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce would retire after Eugene 2021 World Athletics Championships, the Jamaican has moved to clear the air on that issue.

Fraser-Pryce cleared the air in a tweet on Wednesday (19 Feb) morning, saying “I will stop when I’m finished…….until then one year at a time.”

On Tuesday, Fraser-Pryce was quoted saying “after Tokyo, I am the defending champion at the world championships in Eugene and that is so close to home. It’s a few hours (flight) from Jamaica and to be able to end a career close to home, where I can have most, if not all, of my family in attendance, would be the highlight of my career.

“I am taking it a year at a time. After Tokyo, I can make that decision,” she said.

The 32-year-old has an illustrious career since her breakthrough year in 2008. She won back to-back-back Olympic Games titles in Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
She won a historic four world 100m titles in Berlin 2009, Moscow 2013, Beijing 2015 and Doha 2018. She added the 200m title in 2013.

Davis cruises into 200m final; Moore no-show at Central Champs

By

Ashanti Moore returens with win at JC meet 2020
Ashanti Moore of Hydel wins at Champs 2019

Hydel High’s Ashanti Moore skipped both 100m and 200m events at Central Athletics Championships, which ends on Wednesday (19 Feb) at GC Foster College.

Cory Bennett, Hydel’s head coach, could not be reached for comment.

Moore’s none-participation means that fans will have to wait for Champs 2020 (March 24-28) to see her face-off with Edwin Allen’s Kevona Davis.

It is, however, possible Moore could feature in the 4x100m relay final for Hydel.

Davis entered only for the half-lap event and qualified comfortably for Wednesday’s final in 23.59 seconds, the fastest time of the day. Kishawna Wallace of Holmwood with 24.48 is the second fastest for Wednesday’s final.

Kayla Bonnick of St. Jago is the fastest Class 1 girls’ 100m qualifier with a record 11.64secs. Monae Carey of Holmwood is the next best with 11.82.

Edwin Allen’s pair of Brandy Hall, 11.46, a new meet record, and Tia Clayton, 11.55, are the fastest Class 2 girls’ 100m athletes.

Tina Clayton of Edwin Allen with 23.93 is the fastest Class 2 girls’ 200m qualifier.

Brianna Lyston of St. Jago won her heat of the Class 2 girls’ 400m in 56.86. She will enter the final as the 8th fastest. Oneika McAnnuff of Hydel 54.76 will lead the field into the medal round.

Baton Rouge, La. – Terrance Laird (Men’s Runner of the Week) and Thelma Davies (Women’s Freshman of the Week) were honoured by the SEC on Tuesday afternoon as athletes of the week after their performances at the Tyson Invitational over the weekend.

Laird ran a world-leading personal best of 20.43 seconds in the 200m dash on Saturday afternoon to take gold in his event. It’s also the top time in the NCAA this season, and it ranks No. 2 in LSU history. The native of Coatesville, Pa., also ran a personal best of 6.66 in the 60m dash to rank sixth in the SEC on Friday evening.

It’s Davies’ second-straight SEC award after a competition weekend. She continues to get faster and faster in both of her events – the 60 meters and 200 meters. She started her weekend off with a second-place finish in the 60m dash with a personal-best readout of 7.23.

That time ranks as the fourth fastest in the NCAA this season. Saturday’s performance in the 200 meters was spectacular in its own right as she ran a career-best 22.80 to win the event with the second-fastest time in the world and NCAA this season; it also ranks No. 3 in LSU history. The 22.80 is the fastest time in the nation this season by a freshman.
