Just got news that MLA ran 22.01 yesterday in Texas at the 2015 Bobcat Classic but she had the help of a 2.9 tailwind.
I reckon that MLA would still have ran a 200m world lead even if the wind conditions were legal (+2.0 or less) based upon the current legal 200m world lead being 22.42 by the American white hope Jenna Prandini.
See link:
http://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/sprints/200-metres/outdoor/women/senior/2015By my calculations MLA would have ran a 22.18 in still wind conditions which is still faster than the current legal world lead. Also only 4 female athetes equalled or bettered 22.18 over 200m last year so that is a good sign that MLA can be a serious contender in both the 100m and 200m at the upcoming World Champs in August barring injury.
I think that based upon this MLA 200m time and KAB's 22.91 200m in her outdoor season opener last weekend that T&T could have fielded a serious women's 4x200m relay team with medal potential at World Relays in Bahamas next weekend.
If only Kayelle Clarke and Semoy Hackett were available I think T&T would have had the personnel to take on the workload in the 4x200m relay on day 1 without it negatively affecting our chances in the 4x100m relay on Day 2 and we could have been in a strong position to win a medal both in the 4x2 and 4x1 on days 1 and 2 respectively at the 2015 World Relays in the Bahamas.
But as things are its likely to be between USA, JA, Bahamas and possibly Nigeria pressing for medals in the women's 4x200m relay in the Bahamas on day 1 without a T&T women's 4x200m relay team in the mix.
Also note in section 2 of the 200m Finals at the 2015 Bobcat Classic in Texas that Reyare Thomas placed 2nd in a time of 23.41 in a just legal 2.0 tailwind which was 4th overall for the Finals.
What do you guys thinks?
