Jamaica’s Novlene Williams-Mills has successfully defended her title in the 400m at the JN Jamaica International Invitational World Challenge meet in Kingston.
Williams-Mills clocked 49.99 to show the heels of her spikes to America’s Sanya Richards-Ross who finished second.
Britain’s Christine Ohurougo was third.
Williams-Mills says she is pleased with her [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]performance[/COLOR][/COLOR] which is right where she wants it to be for the upcoming national trials for the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]London[/COLOR][/COLOR] Olympics.
“To be opening with 49 (seconds), I have never done that before, so I’m in great shape,” she said.
Richards-Ross was very disappointed with her second-place finish.
“I thought I would have had a better finish, but Novlene came out kicking better than me today,” said Richards Ross.
She said her [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]training[/COLOR][/COLOR] has been going well, but this evening’s run means that she will have to go back to the drawing board.
