Shaunae Miller breaks 16-year-old national record in 200m

‘Golden Girl’ Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie knew that if anyone was going to break her 16-year-old Bahamas national 200 metre record, it would have been rising international star Shaunae Miller. When she heard the news on Saturday that Miller finally eclipsed her mark of 22.19 seconds that she ran on July 3, 1999 in Paris, France, Ferguson-McKenzie said she wasn’t surprised at all. In the Jamaica Invitational meet at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, Miller ran away from a talented field to snatch the women’s 200 metres title in a world-leading time of 22.14 seconds, tying the meet record that was set by Jamaican Sherone Simpson in 2006. Simpson, by the way, was in the race, finishing fourth in 22.64.
