EUGENE, Oregon — The USATF U20 Track and Field Championships produced impressive marks across the board, highlighted by excellent sprints and jumps as hundreds of youth athletes vied for spots on Team USATF. Riding a 2.7 meters per second tailwind in the women’s 100 final, Shawnti Jackson (Wake Forest, North Carolina/USATF North Carolina) moved to No. 4 on the all-time, all-conditions high school list with an 11.07w. Jackson, the daughter of former men’s 400m hurdles great Bershawn “Batman” Jackson, got out very well and finished well clear of the field. Oregon high school champion Mia Brahe-Pedersen (Lake Oswego, Oregon/USATF Oregon) was second in 11.09w, equaling the fastest time she has ever run, and Texas high schooler Autumn Wilson (Liberty Hill, Texas/USATF Texas Southern) completed the podium with an 11.14 in third. Pre-meet favorite Jordan Anthony (Jayess, Mississippi/USATF Southern) stumbled coming out of the blocks in the men’s 100m, leaving the door open for Baylor’s Laurenz Colbert (Bowie, Maryland/USATF Potomac Valley) to win in 10.21, two steps ahead of Michael Gizzi (10.28) (Covington, Georgia/USATF Georgia) and Connor Washington (10.29) (Fayetteville, Arkansas/USATF Arkansas). Anthony ended up sixth in 10.43. Malik Mixon (College Park, Georgia/USATF Georgia) gained redemption after being disqualified in the heats of the men’s 400m hurdles, coming back to win the 110m hurdles in a wind-aided 13.28. Collegians TJ Caldwell (Pittsburgh, Kansas/USATF Missouri Valley) and Jayden Smith (Richmond, Virginia/USATF Virginia) battled it out for the second spot, Caldwell coming out .01 ahead in 13.34. USC’s Jalaysiya Smith (Glenn Heights, Texas/USATF Southwestern) moved away from Georgia’s Eddiyah Frye (Miami Gardens, Florida/USATF Florida) after the eighth barrier to win the women’s 100m hurdles in 13.21 over Frye’s 13.26. One of the best races in American U20 race walk history saw Angelica Harris (Bartlett, Illinois/USATF Illinois) move to No. 2 on the all-time U.S. high school performer list in the women’s 10,000m race walk with her winning 49:29.73. Harris was walking just ahead of runner-up Talia Green (Oakland, California/USATF Pacific) before easing away over the final lap. Green clocked 49:31.54 to take over the No. 3 all-time high school performer slot and Heather Durrant’s third-place 49:55.88 put her in the No. 6 spot. Ryan Allen (Woolwich, New Jersey/USATF New Jersey) was a comfortable winner of the men’s race in 49:53.14. Yesterday’s hammer winner, Tarik O’Hagan (Woonsocket, Rhode Island/USATF New England), had three throws good enough to win the men’s shot put, capped off by a 19.62m/64-4.5 in the final round. Also saving his best for last, Cade Moran (Murrieta, California/USATF Southern California) hit 19.15m/62-10 in round six to sew up the runner-up spot on the podium. The longest jump at the U20 meet since 2014 gave Big 12 champion Johnny Brackins (Lee’s Summit, Missouri/USATF Missouri Valley) the men’s long jump title with a best of 8.03m/26-4.25. Brackins took only three of his allotted six attempts and won by almost a foot over Curtis Williams (Tallahassee, Florida/USATF Florida), who was second at 7.73m/25-4.5. Clearing 2.12m/6-11.5 on his first attempt, Marcus Monroe (Chino, California/USATF Southern California) of Mt. San Antonio College came away with the men’s high jump gold. Fresh off a bronze medal performance at the NCAA Division II Championships, Blakelee Winn (Pea Ridge, Arkansas/USATF Arkansas) of Pittsburg State outran JaiCieonna Gero-Holt (Puyallup, Washington/USATF Pacific Northwest) in the 800m to win the women’s heptathlon with 5,473 points. Gero-Holt, a Washington state high school champion, had a 16-point lead heading into the final event, but Winn’s 2:26.32 put her almost seven seconds in front of Gero-Holt, who ended up with a lifetime best of 5,401. Bryanna Craig (Ruston, Louisiana/USATF Southern) rounded out a stellar top three with 5,388 for bronze. Pennsylvania state high school champion Justin Rogers (Hershey, Pennsylvania/USATF Mid-Atlantic) was clear through the first four heights in the men’s pole vault, clearing 5.25m/17-2.75 before missing three times at 5.35m/17-6.5. Stanford’s Garrett Brown (Carlsbad, California/USATF San Diego-Imperial) went over 5.15m/16-10.75 for second. Landon Helms (Emmet, Idaho/USATF Snake River) won three of the five second day events in the decathlon to finish with 6,425 points and win by 145 over Bryce Pearson (Long Beach, California/USATF Southern California) of Cerritos College. Princeton’s Siniru Iheoma (Southampton, Pennsylvania/USATF Mid-Atlantic) threw 54.47m/178-8 in round three to win the women’s discus, just over a foot in front of Missouri’s Ames Burton (Manhattan, Kansas/USATF Missouri Valley), who claimed second at 54.08m/177-5. An opening round wind-aided leap of 6.17m/20-3 was enough for India Alix (Houston, Texas/USATF Gulf) to win the women’s long jump ahead of Sophia Beckmon’s (Oregon City, Oregon/USATF Oregon) 6.11m/20-0.5. In the heats of the women’s 400m, Mekenze Kelley (Stone Mountain, Georgia/USATF Georgia) of Coastal Carolina was the fastest qualifier for the final at 52.57, while Oklahoma State’s Charlie Bartholomew(McKinney, Texas/USATF Southwestern) was the top men’s advancer in 45.99.LSU’s Michaela Rose (Suffolk, Virginia/USATF Virginia) was the fastest qualifier in the women’s 400m hurdles, winning heat one in 58.14, with national high school leader Akala Garrett (Charlotte, North Carolina/USATF North Carolina) taking the second section in 58.49.
