Adaejah T. Hodge takes 100m Silver @ World Athletics U20 C/Ships
The final was billed as a battle between Jamaica’s Alana Reid, 19, and Hodge; however, it was a tale of two starts that made the difference in medal colour, as Reid blasted out of the blocks and held that advantage over the duration of the race. In the end, no one could catch her as she crossed the line in 11.17 (0.0m/s) to take her first global U20 title.
Hodge, 18, on the other hand, had to overcome a slightly sluggish start to earn her place on the podium. She accelerated well over the second half of the race to place second in 11.27. Kishawna Niles of Barbados rounded out the podium in 11.37.
2nd silver for VI @ U20 Worlds
It is only the second silver medal for the VI at the World U20 Championships. In 2013, athletes Nelda Huggins, Taylor Hill, Tarika Moses, Lakeisha Warner and Jonel Lacey secured a silver medal in the Sprint Medley 1000m in Donetsk, Ukraine.
In 2016 Kyron A. McMaster, OBE secured a bronze medal in the 400m hurdles in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
Hodge will now turn her attention to the Women’s 200m, as she competes in Heat 3 at 12:21 PM today.
