It wasn’t a race, it was a slaughter. Tezdzhan Naimova, winner at 100 meters earlier in the meet, dominated from start to finish as the strong and slim smooth striding Bulgarian was clocked in 22.99. Second place went to Vanda Gomes of Brazil in 23.59. Naimova’s winning margin was the biggest since the Championships began in 1986. The old record was set in 1988 in Sudbury when Katrin Krabbe of East Germany defeated teammate Diana Dietz by .54. seconds. Ewelina Klock of Poland was third at 23.62 and Jin Wang of China was fourth at 23.68. Gabriella Mayo of the U.S. and Southeast High in Raleigh, North Carolina was out well and in the middle of the mix at 100 meters but could not match the others closing speed and finished fifth in 23.84. Jeneba Tarboh of the U.S. and Mt. Pleasant High in San Jose. California was never in contention, finishing eight in 23.96.
