- Details
The World Athletics Championships Oregon22 concluded Sunday with two Bahamian athletes in competition. Ken Mullings competed in the final five events in the decathlon, while Devynne Charlton ran the semifinals of the 100-meter hurdles in hopes to qualify and perform well in the finals.
In his first event of the day, Mullings finished first in heat 2 of the 110-meter hurdles with a personal best time of 14.02. He was the second fastest overall out of the blocks and fifth overall. Moving on to the discus, Mullings had a mark of 42.70 meters, good for 14th overall. Although he finished 17th in the pole value, Mullings had a season best 4.50 meters. Next up with the javelin where Mullings had another season best of 56.92 meters, which was 9th overall. In the final event, Mullings posted another season best, this time in the 1500 meters with a time of 4:52.85. Overall, Mullings finished well off the pace for a medal, finishing 17th. However, his 7866 points was a national record, so his performance definitely made the Bahamas proud.
After qualifying for the semifinals in the women’s 100-meters hurdles on Saturday, Devynne Charlton posted a time of 12.46 in the semifinals, which was 7th overall and good enough to qualify for the finals. In the finals, her time was a bit slower at 12.53 and finished 7th. Although she failed to medal, Charlton set a national record with her time in the semifinal round, so it was a very strong performance by the 28-year-old native of Nassau.
