Jamaica’s two-time 100m Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made a winning return to the track clocking 11.52 seconds at the JAAA All Comers Meet at the National Stadium last Saturday.

Fraser-Pryce, who will be 32 years old in December, won heat one of the women’s 100m in 11.52 (0.2 mps) ahead of Ashley Williams of G C Foster with 11.98 seconds. It was Fraser-Pryce’s first competitive race since the birth of her child.

However, the fastest time was recorded by in-form Shericka Jackson of MVP, who won heat two in 11.31 seconds (0.8 mps).

Tyquendo Tracey of MVP captured the men’s equivalent in 10.29 (0.4 mps), the same time as Jevaughn Minzie of Racers Track Club, with Chadic Hinds third in 10.36. Nesta Carter was fourth in 10.40 seconds.

Gilbert Hainuca of the University of Technology, Jamaica, (UTech) took heat four in 10.36 (0.6 mps) ahead of Emmanuel Archibald, running unattached, with 10.39 seconds.

Jamaica’s top men’s quarter-milers took the 200m, and Javon Francis of Akan Track Club won heat four in 20.69 (-2.7 mps) ahead of Sprintec’s Demish Gaye in 20.79. No other runner was able to dip below the 21-second barrier, as Kenroy Anderson of Racers was third best in 21.11. Oshane Bailey of Sprintec was fourth best with 21.13.

The 2014 Commonwealth Games 400m champion Stephanie-Ann McPherson of MVP won the 200m in 23.02 (0.3 mps) seconds, just outside her personal best of 22.93 set in 2014. Janieve Russell, fresh from striking gold in the 400m hurdles at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, was second in 23.43 seconds.

Sprintec’s Sherone Simpson, who is also making a comeback after giving birth, was third in 23.46 with her teammate Natasha Morrison fourth in 23.95.

Rushell Clayotn of Swept Track Club captured the women’s 400m in 53.60, ahead of 2016 IAAF World Under-20 bronze medallist Junelle Bromfield of the UTech in second with 53.61.

Akan’s Jermaine Gayle was quickest over the 400 in 46.34 ahead of his teammate Pete Mathews in 46.54. G C Foster’s Demar Murray was third in 46.84. Great Britain’s Miguel Francis of Racers was sixth fastest with 47.52, while national record holder Rusheen McDonald of MVP was 16th overall clocking 49.90.

Tajay Gayle of UTech won the men’s long jump with 8.02m, ahead of Ramone Bailey of Eagles Track Club with 7.82m. His teammate Kamal Fuller was third with 7.68m.

The 2014 Commonwealth Games champion O’Dayne Richards of MVP threw 20.62m to win the men’s shot put ahead of Racers Fedrick Dacres with 20.34m. Deandre Leith of Calabar High was third with 16.53m.

In the men’s discus, Commonwealth Games champion Dacres returned to his favourite event and threw 66.53m and captured the event. His winning throw at the Commonwealth Games was 68.20m.

Just as he did at the Commonwealth Games, Travis Smikle was second to Dacres with 64.43m, an improvement on his silver medal display of 63.98m.
