Initial story

Thursday night, an excited crowd of family, friends and supporters gathered to watch Javianne Oliver, of Monroe, take second place in her qualifier with a time of 11.15 to earn a spot in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games Women’s 100m semi-finals – and possibly the final on Saturday. There was a loud roar when she got to wave at the crowd of supporters from the TV screens at the Southern Brewery Company in Monroe and that roar didn’t end until she crossed the finish line in the qualifying position. Oliver joins the other two USA Women’s 100 m team members, Teahna Daniels and Jenna Prandini, who also qualified for Saturday’s semi-finals.

You can watch Oliver’s qualifying run here on the Live recording from Southern Brewery Thursday night.
