Safe to say JA womens sprints will be left in good hands once Elaine , Shelly and others Retire
Jihah Myah Genesys Motts definitely but there a are some American fans who keeps posting garbage that once shelly and elaine retires we won’t have anyone left to challenge them so I gave them a reminder. The clayton twins Cole, Lyston, and many others. (3rd generation of this era) Williams, Davis, Moore, Grant, etc. (2nd generation of this era)
Kevin Wynter AND LET US ALL SAY ……AMEN!!!!
Kevin Wynter make them think that way …we going to smoke them ass if a long time ..generation after generation
