MVP Track Club’s Tia Clayton and Rohan Watson emerged as winners of the women’s and men’s 60m, respectively, at the JAAA Puma Fuller/Anderson Development Meet held on Saturday at the GC Foster College.
Clayton, a two-time World U-20 champion, ran 7.22 to take the win over twin sister Tina (7.27) and their MVP teammate, Bajan Commonwealth Games 400m champion and two-time World championships bronze medallist, Sada Williams (7.30).
“I decided to be more disciplined with what I eat and I have seen the results,” Clayton said in an interview after her race.
“I have lost a lot of weight and I can say everybody is proud because they didn’t believe that I could lose it,” she added.
Two-time World 200m champion Shericka Jackson was also expected to open her season in the 60m but withdrew from the meet.
On the men’s side, reigning National 100m champion Rohan Watson opened his season with a 6.67 effort to take top spot ahead of clubmate Nishion Ebanks (6.68) and GC Foster’s Jevaughn Whyte (6.69).
“It has been good. No serious injuries so, so far, no problems,” Watson said about his preparation for this season.
