August 11, 2022That race was FAAAAST! 🔥 Do you know the fastest female PUMA athlete ever? We’re thrilled and excited to tell you, because her new best time is amazing. Shericka Jackson ran the 100 meters in an incredible 10.71 seconds at the Diamond League Meeting in Monaco on Wednesday. And that is not only a personal best for her, but also for the PUMA family. With this, Shericka replaces Merlene Ottey as the fastest ever female PUMA athlete. The old record was from 1996, when Marlene ran the 100m in 10.74sec.
Already before the race in Monaco yesterday, Shericka knew that she can call up an even faster time in the 100m. “I don’t think I have reached my full potential as yet. It’s taking some time, the World Championships was actually good, I ran a personal best,” she said in an interview before the event. “I am looking to run faster 100s. I think I have mastered the 200m a little so I am excited to put together a proper 100 and see how fast I can go.”
And she delivered. In an exciting race at the Diamond League Meeting in Monaco, Shericka grew beyond herself. This new time of 10.71s also makes her the 6th fastest women in history. We can’t wait to see what she has in store at the next meetings to come.
Congratulations, Shericka, from your PUMA Fam!
