Carmelita Jeter

Pooh's little sister Carmelita is National Champ!

She won the 100 meters at the Nationals in Eugene yesterday in time of 10.776.
Her semi time was 10.772, which was the fastest time run in 11 years (both wind aided)

After the race, she said she got a cramp at 70 Meters, or she would have run faster!

Pooh's crowing on his Tweet. As well he can

She's in the 200 today.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that slightly faster than mattywizz's high school PR?

And by yesterday I'm assuming you mean a week ago?

I need to check on Pooh more often.

No correction here Coldsmoke.

Looks like she took second in the 100m in Lausanne. World Champs coming up soon and she looks to be in shape.

Gotta love the 9 lane tracks and the extra-unqualified runner it allows in the finals!

The DNS made room for another runner.

was this affinity for the ninth lane from experience?

Is the 9th lane like the 19th hole in golf?? Like the Pliny drinking lane??

3rd place today in the 100 metres at the World Championships. A pretty good performance. I was hoping for a shout out to Pooh during her interview with Bob Neumeier. Or at least a "We love free throws"

"Because they are free"

It's "meters," but yea.

The women's soccer team will be very strong on defence. There are many fan favourites among that group. Soon enough fans everywhere will realise how good this team is.

Dont make me locke this thread... I have my finger on the buton...

Well at least it isn't one of those threads like they have on the Zag board where the posters literally count to whatever number by increments of 1, 2, x2 or whatever... No seriously, they exist...

You mean football, right?
