Semoy Hackett was denied gold in the women's 100m dash at the LSU Alumni gold in Louisiana, taking the runner up spot in a windy 11.21 sec(+2.9). Hackett topped heat two but her LSU team-mate Kimberlyn Duncan (USA) was quicker in heat one racing to a world leading time of 11.05 sec(+1.0). Hackett was also third in the 200m in 23.14 sec. The Bishops High Tobago graduate was robbed of an Olympic qualifying time as the wind reading was +4.9, over the limit. Hackett and Duncan combined to pace LSU to victory in the 4X100m in 43.35.
Smith had to settle for silver in the women's discus with a last round effort of 49.12m. The McNeese State student was also 15th in the shot put in 13.16m. Blaise (LSU)secured third place in the men's triple jump with a wind aided leap of 16.14m (+3.6). Davis was third in the 110m Hurdles in 13.56, again the wind reading of +3.8 denied him a personal best.
Nero (Wichita State) crossed the line in third in the women’s 3000m steeplechase at the Kansas Relays in 11:10.87, falling short of her national record of 10:56.97. Scarla is the younger sister of Tonya Nero, who recently set a new national marathon record of 2:43.14 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
