Williams seeks more success at Millrose Indoors

WORLD leader in the women's indoor 60-metre hurdles, Danielle Williams, will be one of eight Jamaicans in action this Sunday at the 118th staging of the Millrose Indoor Games in New York.

Williams, who recorded a world-leading 7.87 seconds to win at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 24, will be gunning for her third win of the season, after an earlier success at Clemson University.

Megan Tapper, who finished sixth at the New Balance meet, along with Oneika Wilson of Clemson University, will be the other Jamaicans in the line-up.

Following her second-place finish to Williams in a season-best 7.92 seconds, two-time World Indoor champion Devynne Charlton of The Bahamas will also be among the starters, along with the United States duo of Christina Clemons, who has a season best of 7.94 seconds, and Gabrielle Cunningham with a best of 8.00 seconds.

Two other Jamaican females, Kemba Nelson and Natoya Goule-Toppin, will compete at the meet. Nelson will contest the 60 metres, while Goule-Toppin will line up in the 1000 metres.

Ackeem Blake, fresh off his success in the 60 metres at the Boston meet, will lead three Jamaican males in action. Blake, who won in 6.53 seconds, will be joined by Bryan Levell, who has a season best of 6.54 seconds after finishing third in his heat two weeks ago at the JAAA Puma Fuller Anderson Meet at G.C. Foster College.

Rajindra Campbell will round out the Jamaican contingent at the meet, where he will contest the men's shot put.
