NEW DELHI: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce punched her ticket to a ninth World Championships with a third-placed finish in the 100m at the Jamaican national athletics trials on Friday night.
Fraser-Pryce, a three-time Olympic gold medallist and 10-time world champion, clocked 10.91sec to finish third in the women’s 100m final and secure a berth for the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
Tina Clayton won her first national title in a personal best of 10.81 with reigning 200m world champion Shericka Jackson second in 10.88.
Tia Clayton, twin sister of Tina, was fastest in the semifinals but pulled up with an apparent injury in the final.
Fraser-Pryce won her first world championships medal at Osaka in 2007—a silver in the 4x100m relay—before going on to win 10 world titles, five of them in the 100m. Agencies
