As we wind down the final homestretches of the regular outdoor season, Shawnti Jackson of South Granville (NC) put everything together at the Music City Track Carnival.
Last weekend, she added the first outdoor national high school record to her resume.
In the 100m, the Arkansas recruit won the 100m in 10.89 (+0.9) against a loaded professional field. She took down Briana William's record of 10.94 (+0.6) from the 2019 Jamaican Senior Championships.
Jackson is the only high school girl to have broken three national high school records in one season. She had record-breaking performances in the 60m and 300m as she clocked a 7.16 and 36.63.
During the week, Jackson solidified being named this week's National Girls Performer Of The Week by earning 52 percent of the votes.
From now until the end of the outdoor track season, winners will be awarded National Athlete Of The Week backpacks courtesy of TrackBarn. If selected as National Girls Performer Of The Week, please send mailing addresses to olivia.ekpone@flosports.tv to receive your bag.
