final at the World Athletics Under-20 Championships in Lima, Peru. The team, led by gold medallist Alana Reid in the women’s 100m, easily defeated Italy with 45.55 seconds and Puerto Rico with a national Under-20 record of 45.28 seconds. In a statement, Reid, the team’s representative, expressed satisfaction with the work. “I only contributed enough to get my team to the championship round.” We really gave it our all when we came here. Just to get into tomorrow’s final, we accomplished enough,” she remarked.
Reid stated that she was driven to help her colleagues reach the podium because she had already won a medal. “I’m confident that we’ll come out and give it our all. I already have a medal, so I know that everyone wants to go home with one, but all I can do is come out here and give it my all so the girls can feel the same way I do,” she remarked.
