DEVONSHIRE, Bermuda — Making the best of blustery conditions, Team USATF athletes came away with five event wins at the USATF Bermuda Games, the first stop on the 2022 USATF Journey to Gold as well as World Athletics Continental Tour - Gold. Sprinters and hurdlers battled headwinds of up to 15 miles per hour with brief rain showers but were buoyed by the capacity Bermudan crowd at Flora Duffy Stadium. The winners of the heats in the women’s 100m went head-to-head and shoulder-to-shoulder in the final and it was Olympic seventh-place finisher Teahna Daniels who came out on top with an 11.45 into a 5.2 mps headwind, .04 in front of Olympic 200m bronze medalist Gabby Thomas. Olympian Javianne Oliver made it a Team USATF sweep with her third-place effort. Daniels earlier won the first heat in 11.32, while Thomas dashed to an 11.29 win in heat two. A closely-grouped pack in the women’s 800m went through the first 400m in 61.61 with World Indoor champion Ajee’ Wilson at the front. Wilson held her position over the final circuit and she showed the same finishing speed that gave her a dominant win in Belgrade to stop the clock at 2:03.09, more than a second ahead of Jamaica’s Chrisann Gordon-Powell. Charlene Lipsey ended up third in 2:04.50. Quanesha Burks put together a solid series in the women’s long jump and her 6.77m/22-2.5w in the third round gave her the victory. An Olympian at Tokyo and fifth at the recent World Indoor Championships, Burks was trailing Jamaica’s Chanice Porter going into the third round after Porter opened with a 6.70m/21-11.75w. An Olympian last summer and a member of Team USATF at the World Athletics Indoor Championships last month, Rachel McCoy cleared 1.84m/6-0.5 on her first attempt to win the women’s high jump. Amina Smith and Inika McPherson also cleared that height, but ended up second and third, respectively, on the basis of misses at earlier heights. Two-time Olympian Chris Benard rode a 5.0 mps breeze out to 16.57m/54-4.5w in round four to win the men’s triple jump. Jamaica’s Jordan Scott took the lead with a 16.37m/53-8.5w in the first round, and Benard grabbed the top spot on his third attempt with a 16.38m/53-9w. 2019 World Championships silver medalist Shanieka Ricketts of Jamaica regained the lead from Britain’s Naomi Metzger in round three with a 14.15m/46-5.25 effort that held up for the win in the women’s triple jump. Metzger was second at 14.00m/45-11.25, with Michelle Fokam the top American in third place. A blanket finish in the men’s 100m saw Canada’s Jerome Blake come away with the win by .01 in 10.38 as Americans Noah Lyles and Erriyon Knighton were dead-heated in second at 10.39 (10.385). Brandon Carnes had a rocket start and led through the first half of the race before yielding to Blake, the largest man in the field, Lyles and Knighton. In the heats, Knighton overcame a -5.9 mps wind to win section one in 10.61, with Lyles taking the second heat in 10.42 (wind -4.5). Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico overcame a good start by Christina Clemons to run away with the women’s 100m hurdles in a world-leading 12.67 (wind -2.5 mps) despite a stiff headwind. Chanel Brissett, the 2019 Pan American Games silver medalist, came on strong to take second in 13.06, with Clemons third in 13.15. Battling a very strong headwind of 3.8 mps, Shane Brathwaite of Barbados edged Michael Dickson in the men’s 110m hurdles, clocking 13.78 to Dickson’s 13.85. Kenya’s Kamar Etiang established a sizable lead in the men’s 1,500m after following pacemaker Erik Sowinski through the first two laps, but had to hold off a mad dash to the finish line by Germany's Amos Bartlesmeyer to win by .09 in 3:45.26. Etiang had an almost three-second margin with one lap to go and coming off the final turn into the wind that gap narrowed quickly. Local favorite Dage Minors was third, with Kasey Knevelbaard the top American in fourth at 3:46.86. Shiann Salmon’s late charge led to a Jamaican sweep in the women’s 400m hurdles, crossing the line in 55.35 ahead of Rushell Clayton and Janieve Russell. Salmon came off the final turn with a deficit of several meters and ran past Clayton after the final barrier for the win. Ashley Spencer was the top U.S. finisher in sixth at 57.87. Coming off the bend into the teeth of a -5.0 mps wind with the lead in the women’s 200m, Jamaica’s Briana Williams saw that lead erased by Anthonique Strachan of the Bahamas, who cruised to victory in 23.24. Dezerea Bryant came through for second in 23.72 as Williams dropped back to third. Andrew Hudson and Kyree King were leading halfway through the men’s 200m, but Olympic 400m champion Steven Gardiner of the Bahamas had the better finish and won in 20.79 ahead of World Indoor 400m champion Jereem Richards. King was the highest-placing American in fourth. Pan American Games 4x400m relay gold medalist Jaide Stepter-Baynes had the lead into the homestretch of the women’s 400m before Olympic 100m bronze medalist Shericka Jackson of Jamaica moved past her as they neared the line and won in 51.40. Candice McLeod of Jamaica was second in 51.57, with Stepter-Baynes third in 51.93. One of the top 400m men in this century, Grenada’s Kirani James used his vast experience to win in 45.63. James, the 2012 Olympic champion and a medalist at two other Games, measured his pace through the first half of the race and then steadily moved through the field and took the lead down the final straight. Kahmari Montgomery in fourth was the top U.S. finisher. The USATF Journey to Gold season returns next weekend at the USATF Golden Games at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California.
