Shericka Jackson became the joint-fifth fastest woman of all time after winning the women’s 100m at Jamaican championships.
Shericka Jackson produced a stunning performance at the Jamaican championships on Saturday as she ran a world-leading 10.65 seconds in the 100 meters. The blazing time put Jackson joint-fifth on the all-time list, 0.16 seconds off Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 35-year-old world record. It also saw her surpass American Sha’Carri Richardson, who won the US 100-meter title on Friday, for the fastest women’s 100-meter time this year.
I think tonight I mastered it … I have to go back to the drawing board with coach , but tonight I did a very good Job,” Jackson told Reuters after her victory. She added: “I know I’m a strong finisher, but I still need to work on that a bit because I made a miss-step, so coach and I will continue working on my stride pattern going forward. “It’s been tough coming down from the 400-meters to the 100-meters since in 2021.
