Two-time World Championships bronze medallist Rushell Clayton continued her fantastic form this season with a massive personal best to claim her second national 400m hurdles title on day two of the JAAA National Senior Championships at the National Stadium in Kingston on Friday.
Clayton ran a brilliant 52.51, the second fastest time ever by a Jamaican, to add to her national title back in 2019.
Her previous personal best was 52.81 set at last year’s World Championships in Budapest.
Five-time national champion Janieve Russell will be going to her third Olympic Games after running a season’s best 53.33 in second while Shiann Salmon will be heading to her first Olympic Games after running a personal best 53.71 for third.
Clayton's time was just outside of Melaine Walker's national record 52.42 set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
