XIAMEN, China - Sheric- ka Jackson sent a thunderous warning to her rivals recent- ly, storming to a season's best and meet record of 21.87 sec- onds in the women's 200m at the Xiamen Diamond League. The victory marked back-to-back wins for the Ja- maican star in the event and delivered the second-fastest time in the world this season, trailing only St. Lucia's Julien Alfred (21.86).
