Pompey returned 1:19.51 for second place in the event, which Monica Hargrove from the United States of America won in 1:19.50 in the close race at the world famous Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday.
Jamaican Clora Williams finished third in 1:22.86 while Guyana’s Marian Burnett came fourth in 1:22.90 to seal the top four athletes in the event. The Millrose Games is an annual indoor track and field meeting.
