EUGENE, Ore. – Perhaps the wind-legal Oregon high school 100-meter state record achieved by Lake Oswego sophomore Mia Brahe-Pedersen in the first round Friday was an indication that an even more spectacular showcase was on deck in the final.

Or perhaps the 200-meter victory produced by Pittsburg State freshman Blakelee Winn to conclude the first day of the heptathlon foreshadowed an inspiring comeback during the last three events.

And perhaps the hammer throw title Thursday by Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan at the USATF U20 Championships was a sign that the most complete all-around prep thrower in history was on his way to accomplishing a memorable double in the shot put championship.

The stage was set for several strong performances Friday at Hayward Field and the elite athletes delivered in exceptional fashion, highlighted by the deepest all-conditions race in prep girls 100 history, along with a sweep for Robinson-O’Hagan and a remarkable rally by Winn.

Shawnti Jackson, a junior at Wakefield High in North Carolina, won the 100 final in a wind-aided 11.07 seconds, holding off Brahe-Pedersen (11.09) and Georgia-bound Autumn Wilson of St. Dominic Savio in Texas (11.14).

Jackson, already the national high school record holder in the indoor 60-meter dash, elevated to the No. 4 all-time prep 100 competitor under all conditions.

Brahe-Pedersen, who ran a wind-legal 11.25 in her opening race to eclipse the state record of 11.30 established in 1968 by Churchill’s Margaret Johnson Bailes, matched her all-conditions best from May 21 at the Oregon 6A state final with her runner-up performance in the final to equal the No. 5 all-time all-conditions prep performer.

Wilson, who produced a wind-legal 11.19 effort in March at the 94th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays, ascended into the top 15 among all-conditions prep 100 performances with her third-place finish that secured a place in the 4x100 relay pool on the U.S. roster for the World Under-20 Championships on Aug. 1-6 in Cali, Colombia.

Lily Jones of Roosevelt High in Oregon was sixth in 11.368 and Georgia signee Kaila Jackson of Detroit Renaissance secured seventh in 11.369. Jones is also eligible for the relay pool and will await to see if she is selected for the U.S. roster.

Robinson-O’Hagan, an Ole Miss signee representing Woonsocket High in Rhode Island and Ocean State Hammerheads, produced a sixth-round mark of 64-4.50 (19.62m) to become the first male athlete since the meet began in 1972 to capture both shot put and hammer throw championships in the same year.

Cade Moran of Murrieta Mesa High in California, a Michigan commit, achieved a sixth-round effort of 62-10 (19.15m).

Despite trailing by 241 points following the conclusion of the shot put, Winn – an NCAA Division 2 indoor and outdoor All-American during her first year at Pittsburg State – cut the deficit to 136 points after winning the 200 in 24.54, which served as a catalyst for her second-day comeback against JaiCieonna Gero-Holt, a freshman at Emerald Ridge High in Washington.

Winn won the long jump with a leap of 18-10.50 (5.75m) and the javelin by throwing 140-11 (42.97m), before clocking 2:26.32 to prevail against Gero-Holt by a margin of 5,473 points to 5,401.

Gero-Holt, who surpassed the national freshman class record of Bryanna Craig with her 5,108-point effort June 3-4 at the Washington state combined events championship, held off the Louisiana Tech signee and Ruston High graduate to place second.

Craig won the 800 in 2:19.42 and finished third overall with 5,388 points.

Johnny Brackins, an NCAA Division 1 indoor and outdoor long jump finalist for Baylor, made his USC debut an impressive one by winning the title with a second-round performance of 26-4.25 (8.03m).

Curtis Williams of Florida State was second, opening his series at 25-4.50 (7.73m), with Houston-bound Aaron Davis of Humble Summer Creek High in Texas taking third with a wind-aided 25-0.75 (7.64m) effort in the sixth round.

India Alix triumphed in a showcase of two of the top junior long jumpers in the country, with her wind-aided first-round mark of 20-3 (6.17m) enough to edge two-time Nike Outdoor Nationals winner and Oregon state record holder Sophia Beckmon of Oregon City, who achieved an opening-round wind-legal mark of 20-0.50 (6.11m).

Malik Mixon of Westlake High in Georgia, a future USC teammate of Brackins, emerged victorious in the 110-meter hurdles final in a wind-aided 13.28, with TJ Caldwell of Division 2 national champion Pittsburg State clocking 13.34 to secure second.

USC’s Jalaysi’ya Smith held off Georgia’s Eddiyah Frye by a 13.21 to 13.26 margin in a showdown of top freshmen the women’s 100 hurdles final.

Baylor’s Laurenz Colbert won the men’s 100-meter final in a wind-legal 10.21, with Michael Gizzi of Alabama-Huntsville placing second in 10.28, edging Connor Washington of Arkansas in 10.29.

Justin Rogers of Hershey High in Pennsylvania, a Virginia commit representing Vault Worx, captured the title in the men’s pole vault final with a first-attempt clearance at 17-2.75 (5.25m).

Stanford freshman Garrett Brown cleared 16-10.75 (5.15m) on his first opportunity to place second.

Princeton freshman Siniru Iheoma was victorious in the women’s discus throw final with a personal-best 178-8 (54.47m) in the third round. Missouri’s Ames Burton finished second with a mark of 177-5 (54.08m).

Marcus Monroe of Mt. San Antonio College in the men’s high jump cleared 6-11.50 (2.12m) on his first attempt to secure the high jump championship, with Texas A&M signee Landon Helms of Emmett High in Idaho capturing the decathlon crown with 6,425 points.

Helms also won the Nike Outdoor Nationals decathlon title at Hayward Field with 7,051 points.
