LIMA, Peru – Alana Reid became the fourth Jamaican in succession to win the women’s 100m at the World Athletics Under-20 Championships, after beating a quality field to take gold in Wednesday’s final in Lima, Peru.

Reid, the world Under-20 leader, ran 11.17 seconds to win ahead of Adaejah Hodge from the British Virgin Islands and Kishawna Niles from Barbados, who were second and third, respectively.

Reid now joins compatriots Briana Williams, who won in Tampere, Finland, in 2018; and Tina Clayton, who took the title in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2021 and again in Cali, Colombia, in 2022, to extend Jamaica’s dominance in the event over the last six years.
