Jamaicans dominate at Monaco Diamond League

MONACO- There were three Jamaican winners on Wednesday at the Wanda Diamond League meet in Monaco.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran a season’s best 10.62 seconds (0.4m/s) to win the women’s 100 metres, beating her previous world-leading time of 10.66 seconds, and erasing the meet record of 10.72 seconds which was set in 1998 by American Marion Jones.

World Championships 200m gold medallist, Shericka Jackson, lowered her personal best for the third time this year, running 10.71 seconds for second and Marie-Josee TaLou of the Ivory Coast was third, also in a personal best 10.72 seconds.

Other winners on the day include Rushell Clayton, who upset the women’s 400 metre hurdles field, and Natoya Goule, who set a season’s best to win the women’s 800m.

Clayton, who qualified for the final at both the World Athletics Championships and the Commonwealth Games, lowered her lifetime best for the second time in a month, running 53.33 seconds, beating the 53.63 seconds set in Eugene last month.

Commonwealth champion, Jenieve Russell, was second with a season’s best 53.52 seconds.

Goule ran a season’s best 1:56.98 minutes to win the women’s 800m, fourth best time in the world so far, beating Americans Sage Hurta in 1:57.85 minute and Olivia Baker in 1:58.05 minute, both life time best efforts.

Shanieka Ricketts, who is coming off a Commonwealth Games gold medal performance, was second in the women’s triple jump with a best of 14.91m (0.5m/s) as Yulimar Rojas, despite failing to register a legal jump in the first three rounds, won with 15.01m (0.m/s).

Candice McLeod was second in the women’s 400m in a season’s best 49.87 seconds as World Champion, Shaunae Miller Uibo, of the Bahamas won with 49.28 seconds, Jamaicans Stephenie Ann McPherson was fourth in 50.52 seconds and Junelle Bromfield sixth in season’s best 50.93 seconds.
