Chronological list of the sub-11 club
Published 9 June 2015 (JonMulkeen.com)Michelle-Lee Ahye, one of two T&T athletes in Sub-11 Club. Other is Kelly-Ann Baptiste.I’m a stickler for equality. So following my list of the chronological entries into the sub-10-second club for the 100m, I had to do the same for the women; this time using 11 seconds as the benchmark.
To date, 84 women have achieved the feat. As was the case with the men’s, there were one or two debatable performances too.
Some sources still credit Angella Issajenko with her 10.97 PB, but others have wiped it from the all-time list following her admission of guilt. I’m going with the latter group.
So here’s the list, in chronological order of their first sub-11 performance. I’ll try to keep this list updated as and when athletes join the sub-11 club.

Data credits: alltime-athletics.com, all-athletics.com, tilastopaja.orgAs can be seen from list above Kelly-Ann Baptiste was the 65th woman to enter the Sub-11 Club when she ran 10.94 in Port of Spain back in June 2009 (7 years ago) while Michelle-Lee Ahye was the 80th woman to enter when she ran 10.85 in Port of Spain last year in June 2014.
We need at least one more active sub-11 female sprinter in order to make our T&T 4x100m relay team serious gold medal contenders for the World Champs and Olympic Games.
Hopefully our NAAA's will make some positive moves to address this if they truly want to keep moving T&T female athletics forward to a world class level.
