Sampson then returned later to outclass her opponents in the female 200m and 400m, clocking 26.5 seconds and 1:04.60 seconds respectively.
Trevon George created many upsets in the 1500m and also uncommonly in the boy’s U-20 400m. George shattered any chances Devon ‘Scooby’ Barrington had of competing in the U-20 1500m at this year’s Nationals. The task was completed in 4:34.6 seconds.

The twin themselves also cataloged triple wins at the championships in their category. Shaquan Daniels who participated in the U-16 category took the girl’s 100m, 200m and 400m with timings of 12.7, 27 and 1:05.5 seconds.
Shomaine Daniels ran a slower 100m than her sister but revived herself in the 400m to register 1:04.6 seconds.
Arinze Chance proved that he will be a force to be reckoned with as he made a clean sweep of the U-16 sprint events with times of 11.3, 23.6 and 55.1 seconds.
Former National U-15 all rounder Kareem Naughton took the podium after winning the boy’s U-18 100m with 11.2 seconds, while Jamal Marks took the boys U-20 with the same timings ahead of Orin Sober’s 11.4 seconds.
Devon Abrams, who was defeated earlier in the boy’s 100m, redeemed himself in the boy’s 200m and 400m.
