100 hurdles gold for Allison at Commonwealth Youth Games

JAMAICA’s Shanette Allison hit the tape in 13.26 seconds to mine gold at the Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas on Saturday.
Allison finished ahead off Australia’s Lateisha Willis, who stopped the clock in 13.55 seconds.

Willis only just earned her silver medal, as Canada’s Katarina Vlahovic breathed down her neck to finish in 13.58 seconds.
The two, were as far behind Allison as they were ahead of England’s Philippa Earley, who was fourth in 13.72.

The field stretched out uncharacteristically for a 100-metre hurdles event with South Africa’s Elsabe Atoinet van der Merwe, the 16-year-old clocking 13.80.
Another Australian, Tiana Death, was sixth in 13.98, while Barbados’ Hannah Connell was seventh in 13.99.
Canada’s Tyra Boug was the slowest of the pack in 14.19.
