Team USATF dominates medal table at NACAC U23 Championships

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Mia Brahe-Pedersen swept the women's sprints and anchored the 4x100 relay to gold as Team USATF athletes won 49 total medals, 24 of them gold, and set eight meet records at the NACAC U23 Championships at National Stadium.
 
Brahe-Pedersen, a rising senior at Lake Oswego, Oregon, High School, set a meet record in the 100 at 11.08 and then added 200 gold in 23.05. She overcame a rocky exchange on the final leg of the 4x100 to cross the line in 42.74, another meet record. Kaila Jackson, who was fourth in the 100 at the NCAA Championships for Georgia, ran a superb opening leg on that relay, handing off to UCF's Rayniah Jones, who also took gold in the 100H at 12.78. Jones made a smooth pass to another Oregon high schooler, long jump winner Sophia Beckmon, before Brahe-Pedersen brought the stick home.
 
Georgia's Caleb Cavanaugh was another double gold medalist, winning the men's 400H and leading off the U.S. mixed 4x400, and Jermaisha Arnold of Texas A&M set a meet record of 50.68 in the women's 400 before anchoring team USATF to a meet record 3:26.83 in the 4x400. On that winning relay she teamed up with Michigan's Ziyah Holman, UCF's Kiah Williams, and USC's Jan'Taijah Jones.
 
High Point pole vaulter Sydney Horn set the first meet record, clearing 4.41/14-5.5 to win the women's pole vault, and Stanford's Cole Sprout ran away with the men's 5,000 in a meet record 14:11.78. On the final day, Akron's Hunter Garretson sailed over 5.61/18-4.75 for a men's pole vault meet record, and Huntington's Addy Wiley took the women's 1,500 in 4:05.84.
