#Champs2019: Edwin Allen’s Graham wins girls’ 400m hurdles title
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Edwin Allen’s Lashana Graham proved too strong for rivals to win the girls’ 400m hurdles open at the 109th ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletic Championships underway at the National Stadium.
Graham won in a new personal best time of 57.59, pulling runners-up St Catherine’s Johnelle Thomas (58.78) and the fast-finishing Rosalee Cooper (59.05) to personal best times as well.
Danielle Brissett of Holmwood Technical was expected to be in the mix at the end but she stumbled over the final hurdle and lost any hope of a podium finish.
