All-time lists under assault in Albuquerque and British win for Yusuf Bizimana at 800m plus news from Nagoya, Leiria, Lisbon and Sydney

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Div 1, Albuquerque, USA, March 10-11

Albuquerque’s 1619m altitude helped produce some stunning performances in a championships that outshone the previous week’s US Championships.

St Lucia’s Julien Alfred won the 60m in 6.94 for a Central American and Caribbean record as she tied both the world lead and the world all-time second spot of Aleia Hobbs as she missed the world record of Irina Privalova from 1993 by two hundredths of a second.

Alfred had set an earlier collegiate record of 6.96 in her heat improving her 6.97 from earlier in the season.

Just 40 minutes after her 60m final, she also mightily impressed at 200m as her 22.01 was the second fastest ever time behind Merlene Ottey’s 21.87 from 1993.

Her 6.94 and 22.01 were easily the greatest ever one day sprint doubles and of course both US collegiate records.

Challenging her until the closing stages was Favour Ofili, who ran 22.20 after an African record 22.10 in the heats (temporarily fourth all-time), while in the 60m Kaila Jackson was second in 7.08, having equalled the world under-20 record of 7.07 in the heats.

Another performance to go second all-time came from Britton Wilson’s US 400m indoor record of 49.48 which would have been a world record earlier in the season after Femke Bol’s recent 49.26 improved on the 49.59 record of Jarmila Kratochvilova from 1982.

Wilson ran laps of 23.56 and 25.92.

ANOTHER RECORD FOR ALFRED!! ??

With a time of 22.01 in the 200m, Julien Alfred sets a new NCAA record with her 2023 world-leading mark!

Talitha Diggs ran 50.49 in second (after a suicidal 23.17 first 200m) while Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke continued her improvement to run 50.45 in winning the other heat.

A hour later Wilson later joined Briton Amber Anning (who ran 51.22 in the B final and 51.47 for the first leg of her relay), Jamaican Joanne Reid and Rosey Effiong in the 4x400m to achieve the fastest ever time indoors with 3:21.75 though because of different nationalities it cannot be ratified and so Russia’s 3:23.37 from 2006 remains as the world record.

Wilson ran 49.20 for her anchor leg after Reid’s 50.52 and Effiong’s 50.57.

Kyle Garland came close to the world indoor record in the heptathlon as he scored 6639 points and missed Ashton Eaton’s mark of 6645 from the World Indoors 2012 in Istanbul by only 6 points.

His performances were 6.87 in the 60m, 7.74 in the hurdles, 7.96m in the long jump, 16.45m in the shot, 2.12m in the high jump, 5.16m in the pole vault and 2:41.36 in the 1000m.

Runner-up Ayden Owens-Delerme, who was coincidentally born on the same day as Garland, went third all-time with a Puerto Rican record of 6518 points.

World under-20 champion Jaydon Hibbert of Jamaica dominated the triple jump with 17.54m for an overall under-20 world record (previously 17.50m by Volker Mai in 1985) and it was also a Jamaican senior indoor record.

Remarkably, Hibbert is still a junior in 2024.

The one British individual success came for Yusuf Bizimana who won the 800m in an outright PB of 1:46.02.

The Matt Yates-coached athlete’s outdoor PB came when he finished seventh in the NCAA outdoor final in 2021 in 1:46.76 though he had already gone quicker indoors this winter with a 1:46.62 last month.

The latest time moves him up to eighth all-time in the UK indoors lists and puts him top of the 2023 UK rankings.

He won by a clear margin from Crayton Carrozza (1:46.78).

Matthew Boling went sixth all-time in the world at 200m with a 20.12 victory ahead of Robert Gregory (20.22) while Ugandan Tarsis Orogot won the other heat in 20.20.

Elija Goodwin equalled his 400m world lead with 44.75 over Matt Moorer’s 45.08 PB while Ryan Willie won the other heat in a 44.93 PB.

Bahamian Terrence Jones won the 60m in 6.46 over junior Jordan Anthony’s 6.55.

The long jump was one of the best quality competitions as Carey McLeod won in a Jamaican record final round 8.40m but Cameron Crump (8.39m), Jeremiah Davis (8.37m) and Wayne Pinnock (8.33m) all finished within seven centimetres.

Pinnock twice jumped 8.33m and did not even win a medal.

Just six days after winning European indoor gold, Sondre Guttormsen set a Norwegian pole vault record of 6.00m to defeat Zach Bradford’s 5.91m. The winning mark also equalled KC Lightfoot’s collegiate record.

After a 7.03m world lead and collegiate record in the long jump on day one, Jasmine Moore set a US record and world lead in triple jump of 15.12m which places her fifth all-time.

She set earlier American records of 14.74m and 15.08m before her final winning jump.

Charisma Taylor’s 14.88m was a Bahamian indoor record in second and came after Taylor had won a bronze in the hurdles with a 793 clocking.

There, Ackera Nugent set a collegiate and Jamaican 60m hurdles record of 7.72 in the heats and then ran 7.73 in the final though only won by 0.02 of a second from Masai Russell.

Katelyn Tuohy gained a 3000m and 5000m double.

Roisin Willis won the 800m in 1:58.932 strengthening her position as third all-time in the World junior lists.
