Alfred Ready to Make a Splash in 200m Season Debut This Weekend

The athletics community eagerly anticipates the season debut of Julien Alfred, Olympic 100m gold and 200m silver medallist, this weekend. The 23-year-old from Ciceron will compete in the 200m at Friday's Tom Jones Memorial Invitational in Gainesville, Florida, following her recent national record in the 300m. Alfred returns to the Percy Beard Track, where she first broke the 22-second barrier. Facing tough competitors, including Rhasidat Adeleke and Jamaican sprinters, she aims to surpass 22 seconds for only the fourth time, potentially setting new records.
