ODAIL Todd of Green Island completed a brilliant sprint double yesterday with a superb win in the Under-18 boys’ 200m final as the JAAA/Supreme Ventures National Junior Trials ended at the National Stadium.

On another windy day that saw several outstanding performances and the juniors battling each other they sought places on the Jamaican teams to the IAAF World Youth Championships in France and the Pan-American Junior Track and Field championships in Florida, Todd was one of the highlights.

After his upset win in the 100m on Saturday, Todd, the CARIFTA Games Under-20 silver medallist, lived up to expectations by winning the 200m in 21.26 seconds in a negative 2.5-metre per second wind.

Once again he beat Youth Olympics 100m champions Odean Skeen to the line as the Wolmer’s student clocked 21.31 seconds, and Jevaughn Mizie of Bog Walk was third in 21.76 seconds.

The Michael McIntosh-coached athlete came off the bend trailing, but caught the leaders with about 40 metres to go before sweeping past them.

Nathanee Mitchell-Blake won the Under-20 race in 21.54 seconds (-1.5 m/s wind) ahead of STETHS’s Chadic Hinds (21.88), while early leader and 100m champion Everton Clarke of Herbert Morrison was third (21.90).

Javere Bell of Seaforth High continued his good season and looked easy in winning the Under-20 400m in 47.66 seconds, beating Garvey Maceo’s Rusheen McDonald (48.55), while Wolmer’s Boys’ Ashawni Mitchell was third (49.85).

Bell, who won the Class One event at Champs and was second in the Under-20 section at Carifta Games, said he was hoping to get back to a full training schedule in preparation for the Pan- American Championships after missing the last two weeks due to the heavy rains that lashed the island recently.

Bell, who suffered a series of disappointments in the past few years, said he has added more strength work to his training regimen this year, and it had made a difference.

The Manchester High pair of Lennox Williams and Oshane Burrell took first and second in the Under-18 400m in 49.02 seconds and 49.46, respectively, ahead of St Jago’s Ivan Henry (50.02).

Calabar’s Fedrick Dacres could have a choice to make in France after winning the Under-18 shot put yesterday with a personal best 18.21m with the 5kg ball, beating CARIFTA Under-17 gold medallist Christopher Brown (16.99m), while Chadwick daCosta was third with 16.78m.

Dacres won the discus throw on Saturday with 62.17m and qualified for both events at the World Youth Championships, and, according to his coach Julian Robinson, thinks he should be able to compete in both events.

Omar McLeod of Manchester High duly obliged in the Under-18 110m hurdles, winning in 14.04 seconds running in a negative win of 2.7 metres per second, holding off Jamaica College’s Tyler Mason (14.07 seconds), while Davian Dennis of STETHS was third in 14.50 seconds.

Wolmer’s Boys’ Yannick Hart took the Under-20 section in 14.28 seconds (-3.4 m/s wind), beating the Kingston College pair of D’Omar Boyden and Carifta Games Under-20 champion and World Junior Championships representative Stefan Fennell, who ran 14.78 seconds and 14.81 seconds, respectively.

Fennel, who also represented Jamaica at the Youth Olympics in Malaysia, is the highest-ranked Jamaican in the junior ranks with a personal best of 13.66 seconds run this year, and won at Carifta with 13.79 seconds, but looked sluggish yesterday.

Kevon Robinson of Foga Road won the Under-18 800m race in 1:56.48, well ahead of St Jago’s Robert Thomas (2:01.43) and Jordane Black of Cornwall College, who suffered double misfortunes, being disqualified in the 400m then mistaking the finish line in the 800m.

Rojeek Rochester, who won the 1,500m on Saturday, added the Under-20 800m yesterday, sprinting away from Holmwood’s Andre Hosey down the home stretch to win in 1:54.84 seconds.

Jonathon Reid of the University of Alabama won the Under-20 triple jump with 15.04m ahead of Carlington Benjamin of Kingston College (14.64m) and Jamaica College’s Fitzroy Dunkley (13.70m).

Montego Bay Community College’s Oshane Green won the Under-20 boys’ high jump, clearing 1.90m to beat Kingston College’s David Hall (1.85m).
