"That's the world's fastest junior time this year and one of the fastest in the world in at least the last ten years." Of course we have to take into consideration that in the US/Jamaica indoor athletics is almost non-existant. Seedo has been known as a huge talent for at least 1 year now. Outdoors is a completely different story of course, but it will be interesting to see what she will do in the summer. 11.40 - 11.50 seems possible. Candace Hill ran 10.98 as a 16 year old in 2015 and Jodie Williams ran 11.23 as a 16 year old in 2010, so far they both haven't done anything noteworthy at senior level. Last year Briana Williams and Tamari Davis both ran 11.13 as 15 year olds. It's a bit worrying that she only improved her 60 m PB by 0.08 seconds, at this age you would expect bigger improvements. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but still I'm interested in seeing her compete on the big (junior) stage outdoors.

Dennis 600 Posted February 16, 2019 #68 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I found a video on the site of the Dutch broadcaster where she's being interviewed.
