Melissa Jefferson-Wooden came within 0.01 of her lifetime best to produce the standout performance on the final day of the US Championships in New York on Sunday (26).
The world champion powered away from the field in the women’s 200m final, winning in a season’s best of 21.69 (1.0m/s), just 0.01 shy of the time she ran to win the world title in Tokyo last year. Cambrea Sturgis finished a distant second at Icahn Stadium in 22.22.
