100m record at South American U23 champs

Brazilian Ana Cláudia Lemos Silva highlighted the 9th edition of the “Juegos Odesur” (South American Sports Games) that took place in Medellín from 20-23 March at the “Estadio Alfonso Galviz Duque”. The event also served as the 4th South American U-23 Championships.

Profiting from the 1541m of altitude of the capital city of the state of Antioquia, the 21-year-old Silva (6 November 1988) equalled the 100m South American record of 11.17 sec, also set by a Brazilian (Lucimar de Moura) at high altitude in Colombia (Bogotá), during the 40th edition of the South American Championships (25 June 1999). The performance is also an early 2010 world lead.

Silva achieved the record in the semi-final heat 1 (wind 1.4) in the morning of 20 March. Later in the afternoon of the same day she won the final in 11.33 (wind 1.5). Her previous PB was 11.46, obtained at high altitude (La Paz, 29 May 2008), and her best at “sea level” was 11.51 (São Paulo, 8 June 2008).

While Brazil once again dominated the medal table with 13G, 18S, 11B, Colombia produced a remarkable performance, following with 11G, 11S, 13B. Venezuela finished third with 6G, 6S, 3B.

Two good victories for Jorge McFarlane

Peruvian Jorge McFarlane (20.2.88) also had a very successful meet. The 22 year-old from Lima won the 110m Hurdles with a clocking of 13.75 (0.7), on 20 March, and the Long Jump with 8.09/1.8 (21 March), setting Games’ and Championships’ records at both events. While the hurdles clock is a new national record, at the Long Jump McFarlane barely missed the Peruvian Long Jump record (8.10; Sucre, 23 November 2009).

The best performances produced by Colombian athletes belonged to Rafith Rodríguez and María Lucelly Murillo.

The 20-year-old Rodríguez (1 June 1989) took the victory at the 800m (21 March), setting a national, championship, and games’ record with a 1:47.20 clock. In a race of good quality, Rodríguez beat Brazilian Lutimar Paes (1:47.52) at the final stages.

Murillo, born in 5 May 1991, and one of South America’s best options for the upcoming 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships in Moncton, Canada, won the Javelin Throw (23 March) with a 56.08 toss obtained in her second attempt. Murillo was also very close to the South American Junior record that belongs to Brazilian Jucilene de Lima (56.75 ’09).
