Tina Clayton etched her name in track and field history as she successfully defended her women’s 100 metre title at the World Athletics Under-20 championships at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium in Cali, Colombia on Wednesday.

Clayton ran a championships record 10.95 seconds (-0.1m/s), also lowering her own national junior record of 10.96 seconds to repeat as champion after winning the gold in Nairobi, Kenya last year.

It was the same time run by Elaine Thompson-Herah when she won the women’s 100m title at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham hours earlier.

It was gold and silver for Jamaica as Serene Cole took the silver in 11.14 seconds, just off her personal best 11.13 seconds with American Shawnti Jackson third with a personal best 11.16 seconds.

Clayton had looked subdued in the first two rounds including the semi-finals run earlier in the afternoon but once the gun went in the final, there was no catching her as she streaked away from a strong field.

The two medals saw Jamaica move up from ninth to third place on the table with five medals, one gold, three silvers, and a bronze.

Meanwhile, Demario Prince failed to finish the 110m hurdles, hitting the last two hurdles and got tangled in the 10th ending up on the track.

Antoine Andrews of The Bahamas won in a joint world leading 13.23 seconds (0.2m/s), beating American Malik Mixon, who ran a personal best 13.27 seconds with favourite Matthew Sophia of the Netherlands third in a national junior record 13.34 seconds.
