World Championships 2022 4x100-metre relay silver medallist Kemba Nelson and 2023 Big 12 Outdoor National Collegiate Athletics Association Division One 100m hurdles gold medallist, Demisha Roswell, were the only Jamaicans to finish in the top three at Saturday's Los Angeles Track Fest meet inside Drake Stadium at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Competing in the women's 100 metres final, Nelson was involved in a very close finish with American Tamari Davis as both athletes clocked 11.08 seconds, with the latter given the win. Jacious Sears of the United States finished third in 11.09. Another Jamaican in the final, Lavanya Williams, placed fourth in 11.19, while Briana Williams was seventh in 11.34. Teenager Theianna Lee Terrelonge was ninth in a modest 11.47s.
In the men's event, both Jamaicans, Ackeem Blake and Deandre Daley, failed to fire, with the latter ending seventh in 10.47. Pre-race favourite, Blake, finished at the back in ninth in 11.55, apparently suffering from an injury.
