KINGSTON, Jamaica – Tina Clayton won her first senior title on Friday, running a personal best 10.81 seconds to capture the women’s 100m title at the JAAA national senior championships at the National Stadium.
A two-time world under-20 champion, Clayton denied Shericka Jackson a fourth straight title, the latter finishing second in a season’s best 10.88 seconds.
However, the night belonged to 38-year-old Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce who defied the odds to clinch a spot on the Jamaican team to the Tokyo Olympics. Fraser-Pryce dug deep to produce a season’s best 10.91 seconds (0.1m/s) – the same time she ran at last year’s national championships – to finish third.
Olympic finalists Tia Clayton did not complete the race, pulling up shortly before she got to the finish line.
Jodean Williams was fourth with 11.02 seconds, Jonielle Smith was fifth in 11.06 seconds, followed by Alana Reid in 11.13 seconds and Ashanti Moore in 11.19 seconds.
