TWO-TIME World Athletics Championships gold medallist Danielle Williams says she was not pleased with her execution in her final preparatory race before heading off to join her Jamaican teammates in the pre-Olympic Games camp in Germany.

Williams finished third in the 100m hurdles on Friday’s second day of the eighth Ed Murphey Track Classic at University of Memphis in Tennessee, United States. She clocked 12.81 (-1.4m/s) behind American Christina Clemons who won in 12.61. Denisha Cartwright of The Bahamas was second in 12.73.

Williams, who had led after the preliminaries with 12.76 seconds (-1.2m/s), said she had been expecting a better technical execution than what she got in the final race.

“It was supposed to be a technical run, trying to put together a technical, very technical race,” she said post-race. “That was literally the focus today — trying to see if I could execute a start and the finish because sometimes I get a start but I don’t get a good finish. Sometimes I get a good finish.”

She said her coach, Lennox Graham, would not be pleased with what he saw.

“I don’t think my coach will be pleased with that run that I just put together just now. It wasn’t very technical so I think I failed the task as well.”

But it was not all gloom and doom for the 31-year-old Williams who is to make her first trip to the Olympic Games.

“I am just going back to training. This is the last race before we go away so I am kind of disappointed I didn’t put it back together, but I’m confident that once I get to Paris we’ll have it done.”

High jumper Romaine Beckford was the only Jamaican winner at the meet while Ackera Nugent and Chanice Porter both picked up runner-up spots.

On Thursday Beckford, who suffered his first loss of the season in June when he placed second at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association national championships, rebounded to clear 2.20m and win the men’s high jump. Christoff Bryan was joint fourth with 2.10m.

Nugent, the Jamaican 100m hurdles record holder and national champion, was second in the women’s 100m in 11.17 (-0.9m/s). Earlier, she had run a season’s best 11.15 (-1.1m/s) in the first round to lead the qualifying.

Nigeria’s Favor Offili won the final in 11.13 while Liberia’s Maia McCoy was third in 11.32.

Porter, who is headed to her second Olympic Games, was second in the women’s long jump with 6.50m (-0.0m/s); Nigeria’s Ruth Usoro won with a 6.70m; and Trinidad and Tobago’s Tyra Gittens was third with 6.35m.

National champion Tarees Rhoden was fourth in the men’s 800m invitational, running 1:46.50, while national record holder Navasky Anderson was 11th in 1:47.23.

Orlando Bennett finished sixth in the 110m hurdles in 13.67 (-1.3m/s), just ahead of Odario Phillips (13.67). Nigel Ellis was seventh in the men’s 100m final, running 10.31 (-0.7m/s), while Kadrian Goldson was eighth in 10.39 and Yohan Blake ninth in 10.42.
