KINGSTON, Jamaica — Shenese Walker ran a Florida State (FSU) and Atlantic Coast (ACC) women’s 60m record of 7.09 seconds in the semi-finals of the event at the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Saturday.

The time, which was also the fastest in the NCAA so far this season, is also the fifth fastest in the world so far, as she lowered her previous personal best by 7.16 seconds, set two weeks ago.

The final of the event was abandoned, and Walker was declared the winner, as she broke the FSU record of 7.15 seconds set in 2000 by Tonya Carter.

There were two other Jamaican winners at the meet: Dejanea Oakley of the University of Georgia won the women’s 400m, and Jordan Turner of Louisiana State won the men’s long jump.

Oakley ran a world leading 51.11 seconds while her teammate Shaquena Foote was third in 51.55 seconds.

Turner jumped 7.80m to win the men’s long jump, while former South Florida and Arkansas athlete Nia Robinson was second in the women’s long jump with 6.67m.

Jerome Campbell, who transferred to the University of Arkansas, was third in the men’s 60m hurdles in 7.57 seconds, just ahead of his teammate Vashaun Vascianna, who equalled his season’s best of 7.63 seconds.

Salieci Myles of LSU ran a season’s best 8.25 seconds in the women’s 60m hurdles final.

Kobe Lawrence of the University of Oregon was third in the men’s shot put with 19.47m, Shamar Reid of FSU threw 17.15m, Shaiquan Dunn of the University of Texas threw 17.09m, and Despiro Wray, also of FSU, threw 16.77m.

At the Penn State University National Open at the Ashenfelter Indoor Track, State College, Pennsylvania, Annishka McDonald equalled her West Virginia school record of 1.79m in the women’s high jump.

She had broken the record of 1.78m that was held jointly by Sharon Pfister from 1985 and Sydney Cummings from 2013.

Kishay Rowe, also of West Virginia, ran a personal best of 2:49.79 for ninth overall in the women’s 1000m.
