Jamaica International Invitational Saturday, May 2

[jamaicantrackfan]

Will be missing some big names


MIA
Usain Bolt – due to recent car accident

Veronica Campbell – due to toe inflammation

Asafa Powell – never saw his name as an original entrant but apparently injured( See Penn Relays)


Tyson Gay – ran there the past couple of years. Was initially announced a participant a few months ago. Organizers up to yesterday said that he has not reconfirmed his participation

Sherone Simpson – injured at the end of last season.




This is a very abbreviated list of confirmed participants. I will update the list later on today
Foreign Particpants
Bianca Knight
Kerron Clement
Dawn Harper
Daniel Bailey


Jamaican Participants
Shelly Ann Frazer
Yohan Blake
Marvin Anderson
Nesta Carter
Michael Frater
Kerron Stewart
Danny McFarlene
Issa Phillips



With Bolt and Asafa not running the 100m, this might be a great opportunity for young Yohan Blake to break out and shine among the rest of the pack. That third spot in the mens 100m at the trials(assume Bolt and Asafa are 1st and 2nd) will be very competitive.


Meet has attracted big names in the past including Marion Jones, Gail Devers, Frank Fredericks, etc.



Race lineup

W100m Kerron Stewart, SAF, Aileen Bailey, and Bianca Knight.. Bianca will double back in the 200m.

W 400m- Sanya Richards, Melaine Walker , Moya Thompson, Novelene Williams,

W400 H- they say Tasha Danvers (Mrs VS) has no competition.

W100h- Dawn Harper,

M100m Richard Thompson, Yohan Blake, Mark Burns , Darvis Patton

M200-Marvin Anderson, 400m run.

Kerron Clement -400mH

Isn't Ohuruogu meant to be competing?

Is Daniel Bailey going to run the 100m there? Cuz so far, Bailey has looked a lot faster than Yohan in the 100m. Bailey should have a good shot of winning if he races.

I agree with you Trackfan (other post), on this will be a opportunity for the less known athletes to measure where they at this time of the season. Some compeling match ups to look for. Yohan look to break 10 secs this season. I saw Moya Thompson running on tv for first time last week. Interesting to see how she do in 400m. Hey, M walker can give Sanya a good run. I really think walker can be an asset to women's 4x400m team. She has 400m Hurdles strength, plus 100 and 200m speed.

didn't see a mention of the races Carter or Frater will be in. If they are also in the 100m, then this look to be a very good race. Carter, Frater and Yohan Blake seems to the three that will likely challenge for that Last spot in 100m on JA team. I read Marvin Anderson is gunning for the spot also, but I'll give the edge to Yohan Blake. He ran 10.08 easily earlier in season, so I look for him even do better come JA Nationals in June.

PS do you know if this meet will be stream online?

Lolo Jones has also pulled out for obvious reasons.

Why do you say Carter, Frater, and Blake seem to be the three that will challenge for the last sport on the JA team in the 100m, when Daniel Bailey is faster than all three of them?

Your logic seems kinda weird...

The meet will be broadcast by TVJ. Unfortunately, TVJ does not stream for free on the net like CVM. You will have to subscribe to TVJ either through Jumptv or Caribcast.

Bailey is from Antigua not Jamaica or Barbados. I also haven't heard of him running yet but I may be wrong. He was slightly injured at the Utech meet.

He ran a 9.93 in +2.3m/s wind on March 14th, this year. That would have been a 9.94 in 2.0m/s wind. That's pretty good for a run in the middle of march. He also GAINED on Usain Bolt a bit in a relay race where he and Usain Bolt were both the anchors on their 4x100 team. Not bad if you ask me...

The guy is VERY fast, and VERY underrated.

Well, this is his first year where it seems he is breaking out. He still needs to win/place high in a couple of races for people to really take note.
