It is a very good look when other jamaican female sprinters step it up and produce sub 11 seconds clockings. Keep putting in the work in practice. All need to step it up.
Let’s go JA male sprinters the women are showing you out!
Congratulations
Great running!
Well done Natasha, keep going
Great talent. She can do it even without MVP.
Maybe, but this was achieved after returning to MVP this year I believe. Excited for her. Let’s hope she can maintain the momentum. Francis did say, in 2015 that he had expected Natasha to break out before ET.
she is back at mvp
Trevon Salmon no she couldn’t lol
Dennis Morgan Really!! Never know she went back
