For the 4×4 this will be the strongest pool for team JA 2015 they still not strong enough to beat the US but it won’t be a big gap between the teams if the management strategize n use the youngsters for the early rounds keeping McGregor, Stephanie, McCloud and Jackko fresh for the finals
Believe me fans in she entered for the 400 this year we would see her go sub 48 or low 48 I watch her and for the first time in her life she beat Shaunie that’s a big confidence booster for her hint no stopping her now good luck Jackko and team JA

Bumari Innocent real talk
I knew it
Judith Dale-Ellis I thought of you when I saw it today!!
This is particularly monumental because both have been each other’s longest rival, stemming from the days of CARIFTA, and this is the first time Jackson has ever beaten Miller-Uibo, while breaking Miller-Uibo’s 4 yr winning streak in the 200m. I do blv Jackson is the answer to SMU, because she is now a lot quicker over the shorter sprints, yet have the speed endurance from her 400m base. This is the beginning of a new cycle! π
Congrats Shericka
This is what you all wait on your time, and this year is definitely Sherika’s time. Congrats Hun. Prayers straight in to Tokyo
