What to Watch for this Weekend
Women’s 100 Meter – Tom Jones Invitational
After a few weeks removed from her season debut in the 100 meter, Tima Godbless is back to take on the event in Florida. She took third with a very-wind aided 11.20 seconds to finish third last time out in the event. Godbless will be looking to clock somewhere near her PR of 11.03 seconds, or possibly go sub-11 seconds for the first time in her career this weekend.
Men’s 100 Meter – Tom Jones Invitational
Freshman Jelani Watkins has only had one individual race this outdoor season and it was a blazing time of 10.01 seconds (+2.1 m/s). The possibilities of him going sub-10 in his second ever collegiate 100m, paired with sophomore Jaiden Reid and junior Myles Thomas also racing makes this event one to keep your eye on.
Men’s 200 Meter – Tom Jones Invitational
If the men’s 100 meter was not enough, Reid and Watkins will double that up with the 200 meter. Reid is fresh off of clocking 20.33 seconds (+2.2 m/s) in his first 200m of the outdoor season at the Battle at the Beach. The time of 20.33 puts him at No. 4 in the country and has him primed to possibly go sub-20 for the first time in his career.
Women’s 800 Meter – Bryan Clay Invitational
The second fastest 800-meter runner in collegiate history, Michaela Rose, will be making her debut in her premier event this weekend. She clocked her personal-best time and No. 2 time in collegiate history of 1:58.37 at last year’s Bryan Clay.
