With the feat, Douglas became the fourth fastest Jamaican junior female of all-time and delivered Holland High’s first Champs gold medal – as she had done two years ago at Muschett High.

Only former Hydel High runner Alana Reid’s Champs and national junior record 10.92 seconds, Tina Clayton’s 10.95 seconds and Briana Williams’ 10.97 seconds are ahead of Douglas’ time. Edwin Allen High’s Alexxe Henry was second in 11.21 seconds and her teammate Renecia Edwards was third in 11.45m.

In the meantime, Wolmer’s Girls’ Natrece East continued her streak of winning, adding the Class 2 title to the ones she won in classes 4 and 3, running a personal best 11.21 seconds (0.9m/s). Edwin Allen High’s Kerelle Etienne, who was expected to challenge her, was within touching distance up to 70 metres but abruptly backed off and trailed across the finish line in eighth place. Mt Alvernia High’s Giana Murray took the silver medal in 11.61 seconds, the same time given to St Jago’s Shannia Campbell.

Edwin Allen’s Danelia Clarke won the Class 3 gold medal in 11.66 seconds (0.9m/s), ahead of Rihanna Scott of Ferncourt High who ran 11.74 seconds while Alpha Academy’s Azaria Harris was third in 11.77 seconds. Excelsior High’s Brianna Gray ran 12.01 seconds (0.1m/s) to win the Class 4 final. Monique Bogle of Edwin Allen was second with 12.30 seconds and her teammate Shantwae Green third in 12.40 seconds.
