The anticipation of Saturday’s opening day of competition at the 50th Carifta Games is very high as Jamaica’s Alana Reid face-off with British Virgin Islands’ Adaejah Hodge in the U20 girls’ 100m.
Reid is coming off an impressive 10.92 at Champs while Hodge, in the indoor season, ran a world U20 200m record of 22.33.
Last year, Hodge shocked Jamaicans at the Carifta Games with mind-blowing times in the U17 100m and 200m races.
Hodge will start in heat 1 of the first round and Reid will run in heat 2/3. Both are, however, expected to meet in final set for later in the afternoon session, which is expected to be the race of the championships.
