Well, Gabby Thomas looked like she was on a cruise after floating past her rivals with ease at the Texas Invitational, where she got out smooth, controlled the field by 60m, and powered through to a winning time of 11.02s (+1.0). A strong finish, but just shy of breaking that stubborn 11-second barrier this season. Cambrea Sturgis chased hard for the second spot in 11.15, with Semira Killebrew not far behind at 11.29. And with Grand Slam Track Miami just around the corner, it felt like Gabby was winding up for that elusive sub-11. Well… she did. She finally dipped under. But at what cost? It wasn’t the kind of finish anyone expected. The time was there, sure, but the feeling? Off. Something didn’t sit right. And now, the Olympic medalist has something to say.
Just days after her commanding 11.02s win in Texas, she lined up against a stacked field at the Grand Slam Track meet. But it wasn’t her day. Olympic bronze medalist Melissa Jefferson-Wooden lit up the track with a wind-aided 10.76s. Tamari Davis (10.79) and Favour Ofili (10.94) followed close behind, and Gabby? She finished just outside the top three.
She ran her fastest 100m time of the season (10.97)—a windy sub-11. Later, Gabby took to X to share the news with a bittersweet tone: “nvm I tweeted this before I ran another windy sub 11.” She was referring to her earlier X tweet, where she wrote,” ugh I love running sm,”
