Tom Jones Memorial ended today, with some excellent performances. 
 

 Jacious Sears clocked a new PB (by almost two tenths) and WL in the women’s 100m of 10.77, which puts her in firm contention for an Olympic spot at the USA Olympic Trials.

 

More fireworks in the women’s 100m hurdles, with Nia Ali winning in 12.44 ahead of   Tonea Marshall in 12.45 and Christina Clemons in 12.51. 
 

In the men’s 110m hurdles,  Grant Holloway clocks a 13.10 in the prelims en route to a 13.21 in the final. 

 

Finally, in the men’s 200m,  Courtney Lindsey with a new WL of 19.88 took the win.

Why, what's  the context?
