Tokyo Olympic 100m bronze medalist Shericka Jackson clocked a fast 7.12 seconds for second place in the women’s 60m dash open event at the Tyson Invitational Indoor Meet in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Friday (February 11).

It took the second-fastest time in the world this year, a personal-best 7.04s from Mary Beth Sant-Price to defeat the Jamaican Olympian, who was making her season debut indoors. Jackson’s compatriot and MVP clubmate, Natasha Morrison, finished third in 7.35s.
