De’Jour Russell of Jamaica smashes the U18 110M Hurdles Championship Record

by admin· July 13, 2017· in News· 0 comments

The Calabar standout De’Jour Russell of Jamaica took his personal best from 13.31 (already a world-U18-leading time this year) all the way to 13.08. The time made him the second fastest U18 athlete of all time, behind his compatriot Jaheel Hyde’s world U18 best of 12.96. Russell’s time was all the more amazing given his slow reaction time of 0.221 and the fact he slowed down before the finish. With the semifinal and final scheduled for tomorrow, there may be much more to come from the Jamaican who recently clocked a world age-17 best of 13.32 over the senior height barriers. None of the other hurdlers came near Russell’s performance, but there were other notable runs, including the remaining heat winners: Enrique Llopis of Spain with 13.47 (a personal best by 0.25), Lu Hao-hua of Chinese Taipei with 13.57 and Saoud Al-Humaidi of Qatar with 13.72. The early exit of Zayed Al Shamsi of the United Arab Emirates was also notable. The third fastest U18 athlete this year with 13.43 finished only sixth in his heat in 14.70 and was eliminated.

15 year old sprint phenom Kevona Daivs to impress at IAAF World U18 Championships Nairobi 2017

by admin· July 11, 2017· in News· 0 comments

Jamaica has unearthed another rare sprinting gem in the form of Kevona Davis, the 15-year-old Edwin Allen High School standout is overwhelming favourite for gold in both the girls’ 100m and 200m at IAAF World U18 Championships Nairobi 2017. On a visit to the 60,000-seater Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday (11), the teenager was calmness personified ahead of what should prove the biggest week in her fledgling career. “I’m not nervous,” she said. “When we compete at Champs, it’s a lot of people, a lot of noise, a lot of supporters. When you compete anywhere else, you’re ready for it.” Davis has competed at Champs on three occasions – her first time in 2015 when, as a 13-year-old, she finished second in the 100m in 12.05 and second in the 200m in 24.23. Last year she lowered her best to 11.63, taking her first title at the event in the U15 100m, then returned the following day to streak to victory over 200m in 23.91, proudly carrying the colours of Edwin Allen High School to gold.
