Women's Sprint Medley Relay

Jamaica wins Sprint Medley for third straight year

This race has historically come down to USA and Jamaica, and 2010 was no different. After the first two 200m legs, Schillonie Calvert and Kerron Stewart had Jamaica in first while Natasha Hastings and Dee Dee Trotter had USA Blue second. World and Olympic 400m hurdles champion Melaine Walker broke open a huge lead for Jamaica on the 400m leg, over Olympic silver medalist Sheena Tosta, but Walker tied up in the last stages of the leg, and Tosta handed off to 2010 World Indoor 800m bronze medalist Alysia Johnson in first.

Johnson began the 800m anchor with Kenia Sinclair on her shoulder, but Sinclair, who anchored Jamaica to a world record at the 2009 USA vs. The World, took over the lead with a lap to go. Thanks to a split time of 1:57.48, Sinclair and her teammates won easily in 3:35.37, with USA Blue second in 3:38.53 and USA Red third in 3:39.55.

And about the equipments if foreigners come here and benefit from them is that a reason for your failure? Itz not like you guys can't use your own "state of the art facilities" right?

The problem is that more countries are now involved with the drug testing so the Americans can't get away with doping" any longer. When the playing fields are equal the true champions emerges,That's all.

@2001COUPE As soon as Jamaica stopped sending all their runners over here to attend colleges Jamaica finally started winning all the golds. They use to burn our athletes out then send them home by which time they cant do much for their country

Your College coaches are in Jamaica all year round scouting so even if Jamaican make little attempt to come here your colleges make offers very few would refuse.

Ask any prominent track coach, we equal your college times in high schools

why the hell does the united states allow these runners from other countries go to school over here use our state of the art facilities our excellent coaches and then they go back to run for thier country. If your going to represent your country train and go to school over thier. I just hate it when you allow countries to use us for what we have then flat out use it against us when we truly need it, USA Track and Field like the federal goverment is all screwed up.
