Jackson wins in Hungary, hands Miller-Uibo first 200m defeat in four years
SZEKESFEHERVAR, Hungary — Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson clocked 21.96 seconds, a meet record, to win the 200m at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial in Hungary on Tuesday.
Jackson handed Bahamian Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who came second in 22.15 seconds, her first loss since May 2017.
Netherlands’ Dafne Schippers was third.
Jackson ran a personal best 21.82 seconds at the JAAA National Senior Championships and won the half lap event on Sunday at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting.
Miller-Uibo has not run under the 22.00 seconds barrier yet but opened the outdoors season with a 22.03 run in early April.
