PENNSYLVANIA, USA: Two-time Olympic Champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, anchored Jamaica’s women to victory over the United States of America in the USA vs the World 4X100m on yesterday’s final day of 119th staging of the Penn Relays.
Jamaica’s team of Sherone Simpson, Kerron Stewart, Anneisha McLauglin and Fraser-Pryce won in a time of 42.42 seconds.
McLauglin replaced the absent Veronica Campbell-Brown in the line-up which won silver at last year’s Olympics.
United States were favourites to retain their title, as one of their two teams in the event included three members of their world-record quartet at the London Olympics.
However, the USA Red team of Tianna Bartoletta, Allyson Felix, Bianca Knight and Jeneba Tarmoh, who replaced the injured Carmelita Jeter, had to settle for third with a time of 42.66 seconds.
The USA Blue team (Mandy White, Alexandria Anderson, Barbara Pierre and Porscha Lucas) finished second in 42.65 seconds.
Jamaica’s men’s team which featured only Nesta Carter from last year’s Olympic winning and world-record quartet placed second in the men’s 4X100m.
Carter teamed up with Dexter Lee, Rasheed and Jason Young to get the baton around in 38.65 seconds.
The USA Red team of Mike Rodgers, Justin Gatlin, Doc Patton and Ryan Bailey won in 38.26 seconds with the USA Blue (Jeff Demps, Wallace Spearmon, Cordero Gray and Ivory Williams) placing third in 38.94 seconds.
