Triple jumper Foreman sets world lead in South Carolina

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s Shantae Foreman achieved a world and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) leading 14.17m as she set a Clemson University program record in the women’s triple jump at the Orange and Purple Invitational at Clemson University in South Carolina on Friday.

Foreman’s mark on her only attempt in the competition was the second best indoor ever by a Jamaican, broke her previous best of 13.84m set last year and broke the Clemson record 13.85m set in 2010 by Portugal’s Patricia Mamona.

The mark eclipsed the previous world lead 13.87m set by France’s Clemence Rougier at a meet in Limoges, France on January 17, and is second on the all time Jamaican list only behind Suzette Lee’s 14.25m set in Indianapolis in March 1997.

Clemson University’s Briana Campbell won the women’s 200m in 23.33 seconds after twice lowering her personal best in the 60m hurdles twice, running 8.26 seconds in the first round and then 8.22 seconds in the semis before opting out of the final.

Oneka Wilson led the semis with 8.07 seconds.

Natoya Goule won the women’s 1000m in 2:43.70 minutes to open her season.

Christopher Young of the University of Alabama was second in the men’s shot put with a personal best 18.65m; Shamar Reid of Florida State was third with 17.38m, while his teammate Despiro Wray was fourth with a personal best 16.91m.

Danielle Noble of Clemson was second in the women’s high jump equalling her personal best of 1.71m and Kimeka Smith, also of Clemson, improved her personal best in the women’s shot put to 16.06m up from 15.98m.

At the Louisiana State University Bayou Bengal Indoor meet, Salieci Myles of LSU won the women’s 60m hurdles with a time of 8.34m seconds, while Skyler Franklin ran a personal best 24.17 seconds to win the women’s 200m.
