LIMA, Peru – Alana Reid became the fourth Jamaican in succession to win the women’s 100m at the World Athletics Under-20 Championships, after beating a quality field to take gold in Wednesday’s final in Lima, Peru.
Reid, the world Under-20 leader, ran 11.17 seconds to win ahead of Adaejah Hodge from the British Virgin Islands and Kishawna Niles from Barbados, who were second and third respectively.
Reid now joins compatriots Briana Williams, who won in Tampere, Finland in 2018; and Tina Clayton, who took the title in Nairobi, Kenya in 2021 and again in Cali, Colombia in 2022, to extend Jamaica’s dominance in the event over the last six years.
