KINGSTON, Jamaica — Complete results from the Velocity Fest 8 Meet that took place at the National Stadium in Kingston on Saturday, March 20. Among the standout performers at the meeting were Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and world silver medalist Shanieka Ricketts.
Fraser-Pryce opens season with 23.19 secs 200m win at Velocity Fest 8 meet
Fraser-Pryce made her season debut with a victory in the women’s 200 meters after stopping the clock at 23.19 seconds and looking very comfortable in doing so as well.
The 34-year-old 2008 and 2012 Olympic 100m champion is preparing for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, later this summer.
Meanwhile, Ricketts cut the sand at a new 2021 world-leading mark and a meeting record of 14.63m to win the women’s triple jump. After opening the competition with a wind-aided 14.20m effort (+3.8 m/s), Ricketts leaped out to 14.63m in the second round of the contest to take the win.
