Season best for Greaves, Russell at all-comers meet

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Season best runs from hurdlers Latoya Greaves in the 100m race and Janieve Russell in the 400m hurdles were among the highlights at last weekend’s Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association’s (JAAA) latest in the series of all-comers meets held at the National Stadium.

Greaves, who was part of the Jamaican team to the Olympic Games in London last year but did not compete due to an oblique muscle injury, ran 13.10 seconds and is expected to compete for a place on the Jamaican team to the IAAF World Championships in Moscow later this year.

Former Vere Technical athlete Indira Spence was second in 13.19 seconds, while a number of juniors also posted good times.

Holmwood Technical’s Yanique Thomson was the best of the lot winning her section in 13.36 seconds, while the University of Technology’s Megan Simmonds ran 13.41 seconds followed by St Andrew High’s Rushelle Burton (13.48 seconds) and St Jago’s Tishauna Monteith’s (13.96).

Russell, who won the 400m hurdles at last year’s IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, won her event in 57.69 seconds.

Annsert Whyte won the men’s 400m hurdles in 50.03 seconds two weeks after he ran a personal best 49.98 seconds, while World Junior Championships finalist Jevarn Gallimore ran 50.49 seconds just off his season best 50.47 seconds set at the Chris Brown Invitational in the Bahamas last month.

Intermediate hurdler Ristananna Tracey ran a brisk 52.41 seconds in the women’s 400m, just off her season’s best 52.39 seconds, beating Ronda White (53.62 seconds) and Bobby-Gaye Wilkins-Gooden’s 53.80 seconds, the only runners who went under 54.00 seconds.

Schoolboys Javon Francis (45.94 seconds) and Lennox Williams (46.30 seconds) were the best in the men’s 400m with Pete Mathews’ 46.49 seconds to win his section.

Kenroy Anders ran 10.30 seconds, the best among the men’s 100m as Jason Livermore won his section in 10.39 seconds beating former national champion Oshane Bailey (10.41 seconds) and Andrew Fisher (10.42 seconds).

Former Central American and Caribbean Juniors Under-20 champion Seidatha Palmer made a successful return from an injury lay off with a 11.64 seconds run to win the women’s 100m, beating Lesline Gilzene- 11.70 seconds and Celia Walters (11.83 seconds).
