National 100m female record holder
Joella Lloyd could not secure a finals spot in the recently concluded NCAA Track and Field Outdoor Championships.
Running last Thursday in the second semi-finals of three for the University of Tennessee, Lloyd could not qualify for the women’s 100m finals as she ran a time of 11.68 seconds, a significantly slower time than her season’s best of 11.19 to finish seventh in the race.
Only the top two from each of the three races automatically qualified for the finals, while the next best three times out of all three semi-final races earn a finals spot.

He pointed specifically to a hire the team made in 2019: Assistant jumps and multis coach Nick Newman.
The former England international, a 25-foot-plus jumper, also happened to be the Trojans recruiting coordinator. Everyone knows them for their successes in the sprints and hurdles, Brackins said. But I took it as an opportunity to build within the jumps program.
