VCB content with second in 60m dash on return to track
The 38-year-old VCB ran 7.34 finishing behind the talented American emerging sprinter Tamari Davis, who ran a personal 7.18 for the win at the East Coast Invitational at the Virginia Beach Sports Centre. Barbara Pierre was third in 7.35.
Campbell-Brown, who was also running for the first time since the birth of her daughter, Avianna Brown in February 2019, said she was content with the performance.
"2.5+ years since I last competed. I returned to competition today at the East Coast Invitational with two rounds of 60ms (7.43s and 7.34s). A decent start to my 2021 athletics campaign. There is a lot of work to be done, but I am up for the challenge,” she said.
In the men’s equivalent, Barbados’ Ramon Gittens was third in 6.79s. The race was won by Jackson Webb in 6.64 in a close finish with Joseph Manu who was timed in 6.66.
