Three Jamaicans won titles on Saturday’s final day of the NCAA Division 1 track and field Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Favourite Dejanae Oakley of the University of Georgia smashed the NCAA record to win the women’s 400m; Shenese Walker of Florida State upset University of Georgia’s record holder Adejah Hodge in the 100m while Shantae Foreman of Clemson University –who was second in the long jump on Thursday – won a dramatic triple jump with a big personal best and school record 14.25m.

Oakley had to work hard as Madison Whyte of the University of Southern California came off the final curve first and led with about 60 metres before the Jamaican changed gears and ran past her to win in 48.80 seconds, beating her previous personal best 48.92 seconds.
