Tia Clayton runs world leading 10.92 seconds in Doha

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Olympic Games 100m finalist Tia Clayton ran a world leading 10.92 seconds (2.0m/s) to win the event at Friday’s Jetour Doha Meeting at the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium in Qatar, the third leg of this year’s Wanda Diamond League series.

It was a dominant display by the 20-year-old in her first competition over the distance this season, lowering the previous world lead of 10.98 seconds set by American Anavia Battle in mid-April.

Tia’s twin sister Tina was second in 11.02 seconds and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was fourth in 11.05 seconds, also season best performances.

Great Britain’s Amy Hunt ran a personal best of 11.03 seconds for third.

There were also wins for Rasheed Broadbell in the 110m hurdles and Shanieka Ricketts in the women’s triple jump.

Broadbell, the 2024 Olympic Games bronze medallist, ran a season’s best of 13.14 seconds (1.1m/s), taking the lead at the seventh hurdle after a slow start, to beat American Jamal Britt—13.25 seconds and Spain’s Enrique Llopis —13.27 seconds.

Ricketts won with a wind-aided 14.72m (3.2m/s) but her opening 14.30m (1.9m/s) is also a season’s best.

Olympic champion Thea LaFond of Dominica was second with a season’s best 14.39m (1.9m/s) and France’s Ilionis Guillaume third with a wind-aided 14.20m (3.4m/s).

Romaine Beckford was fifth in the men’s high jump, clearing 2.20m, the same as fourth-placed Vernon Turner, while World Indoor Championship medallist Raymond Richards was ninth with 2.15m.

Fedrick Dacres was seventh in the men’s discus throw with a best mark of 64.71m.
