WALNUT, CALIFORNIA, April 13-16 — Like the men, the women’s side of the Mt. SAC Relays/USATF Golden Games featured speed of the highest caliber.

In the 100, all eyes were on Tokyo triple gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah. The Jamaican great eased through heat I in a world-leading 10.89 over American Aleia Hobbs (10.95), Trinidad’s Michelle-Lee Ahye (10.96) and the U.S.’s Gabby Thomas, whose 11.00 equaled her PR. Heat II saw Jamaica’s rising star Briana Williams speed a windy 10.91 (+3.0) just ahead of Teahna Daniels (10.92) and TeeTee Terry (10.95).

To the dismay of most, Thompson-Herah was a no-show for the final, leaving lane 6 open. Oliver occupied 1, with Clark in 2, Daniels 3, Terry 4, Williams 5, Hobbs 7, Thomas 8 and Ahye 9. Javianne Oliver (1) and Tamara Clark (2) got out well, but at halfway everyone was still in it.

Former Trojan Terry then made a push and pulled away. Her 10.77w was aided by an illegal 3.3 wind, but was 0.03 better than Hobbs and 0.09 ahead of Thomas.

Said an elated Terry of her all-conditions world leader, “It was a really great time, this is my opener. Even though it’s wind-aided, I’ll take it.”

Thomas, meanwhile, was back on the track for the 200 a mere 25 minutes later. A nearly all-U.S. field had her starting in lane 6, with fellow Olympian Jenna Prandini on her inside in 5 and Tamara Clark, also fresh off the 100, on her right.

A great start put Thomas in the lead coming off the turn, with Brittany Brown in chase. Thomas kept it going through the line to pull away in a U.S.-leading 22.02. Brown was 2nd in 22.29, followed by Prandini (22.59), Marie-Josée Ta Lou (22.64) and Clark (22.66).

“I was a little bit tired, but I really wanted to get a good legal 200m in this season before I take a couple weeks off,” the winner said. When asked about doing 3 races in a span of a couple of hours, she replied, “I didn’t realize how close they were gonna be, so that was a little bit challenging, but it’s a good prep.”

Olympic champion Valarie Allman, fresh off another American Record, dominated the discus with a best of 227-10 (69.46) from the fourth round. All of her throws were better than that of the runner-up, Arizona State’s Jorinde van Klinken, whose 207-11 (63.38) was a collegiate leader.

A final-round effort from Brooke Andersen of 251-10 (76.76) in the hammer overtook Cal’s Camryn Rogers, whose 248-5 (75.73) in the fifth round equaled her Canadian Record and added 9 inches to the Collegiate Record she set last year.

The 100H final was loaded. At the gun, Tia Jones reacted the best, with Tonea Marshall and WR holder Keni Harrison right with her. Midway through, Harrison and Marshall were even but Marshall began to pull way at hurdle 7 and ended with an American-leading 12.46. Harrison was next at 12.56, followed by Jones (12.59).

The 800 saw Raevyn Rogers stay behind the pacemaker and then take the lead at 500 after passing the 400 in 58.56. She maintained her advantage all the way to the end, finishing in 1:58.77 (AL).
