The opening day of the Tom Jones Memorial provided some incredible track and field action. As multiple World and Olympic medalists took to the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar on Friday , April 18, audiences were treated to top notch competition.
One of the most dominant performances of the day was delivered by Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred. The reigning 100m Olympic champion was running her first 200m race of the season, and pulled off a blazing time of 21.88s to win gold. Alfred was the only woman on the field to dip beneath the 22-second mark. Behind her, Favour Ofili took silver, and Tamari Davis settled for bronze.
In the men’s 200m at the Tom Jones Memorial, Joseph Fahnbulleh was at the forefront. After registering a fourth place finish in the distance during his season debut at Grand Slam Track Kingston, the Liberian clinched victory today with a time of 20.07s. Javonte’ Harding came in second with a 20.19s, and Demarius Smith won bronze with a 20.29s.
In the field events at the Tom Jones Memorial, Olympian and World Championships medalist Anna Hall was in action in the women’s long jump. The heptathlete was unable to bring her best to the track, and was forced to settle for tenth place with a mark of 6.03m, while Anthaya Charlton took the win with a 6.82m.
