Asafa Powell suffered a hamstring injury in a meet in Rabat less than three weeks before the Jamaican national trials....

http://www.iaaf.org/IWC11/news/newsid=60250.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

'Things didn’t go according to plan for Powell either, who barely reached the finish line after pulling up some 30 metres into the 100m contest. Well before hitting top speed, Powell suddenly downshifted to a jog, and then almost to a walk, noticeably favouring his right hamstring. He later described it as “a sharp pain”, but emphasized that he didn’t pull up merely as a precaution. If he hadn’t stopped, he said, his hamstring “would have went.” “He felt a cramp in his right lower hamstring at about 20m,” Powell’s manager, Paul Doyle said. “He was able to stop before he did any serious damage. It's too early to tell at this moment how serious it is but we believe at this stage that it is not a serious problem. He feels just a little soreness in the area and tightness when stretching.” On Thursday, Powell said his pre-meet intention was to clock a world season’s best, which was lowered twice yesterday, first by his compatriot Steve Mullings who clocked 9.80 in Eugene and then by Tyson Gay to 9.79 at a small meet in Clermont, Florida, USA. Now, the former World record holder has to ensure he’ll be healthy enough at month’s end just to secure a slot for the World championships team at the Jamaican championships.'

Caribbean athletes are not strongly favoured to win many events at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships, starting Wednesday in Des Moines, Iowa. As a matter of fact, only Cayman Islands' Kemar Hyman and Jamaicans Andrew Riley and Chad Wright were picked by track and field news as potential champions.

And even though the Caribbean flags according to track & field news predictions, will not fly high, very few will also be crowned all-americans.

Hyman, who lowered the Cayman Islands record to 10.07 at ACC Outdoor Championships this season, is tipped for the 100m title ahead of his Florida State teammate Maurice Mitchell.

In the men's 110m hurdles, Riley of Illinois is favoured over LSU's Barrett Nugent and Devon Hill of Miami. Wayne Davis of Texas A&M who recently set a new trinidad & Tobago record is listed to finish 5th while Barbadian Shane Brathwaite of Texas Tech and Jamaican Keiron Stewart of Texas are 8th and 9th.

Wright, in the discus, is expected to get the better of Luke Byrant of Okahoma and Tyler Hitchler of Nebraska.

Jamaican Demar Forbes who is down to represent LSU, is third in the men's long jump

On the women's side, Trinidad & Tobago's Semoy Hackett (LSU), at #3 and #5 for the 200m and 100m respecively is the best placed Caribbean female on the prediction list.

Another Trinidad & Tobago athlete Annie Alexander (Tennessee) is third in the discus throw.

Jody-Ann Muir of Mississippi Sate is listed at 8th in the 400m, while her former Wolmer's and Jamaica junior teamate Danielle Dowie is 6th on the 400m hurdles list. Jamaican Francine Simpson is 6th for the women's long jump.

Freshman Deon Lendore( TRI/ Texas A&M) is also one too look out for.
