At 34 years of age sent a clear message to her rivals with a 10.63 run at the Olympic Destiny Series 2 meet at the National Stadium in Jamaica #2nd Fastest Alltime. She pulled away from Natasha Morrison who ran a respectable 10.95 (the 3rd fastest Jamaican in 2021 with a 10.87 run).  The race had a wind-legal +1.3 m/s following wind.

The performance smashed the world-leading time of 10.72 by Shaccari Richardson (USA). Elaine Thompson and Briana Williams two other Jamaicans will race at the Miramar meet in Florida tomorrow.

She’s now second ONLY to Florence Griffith Joyner’s 10.49 run.
