Celebrating her transition into professional sprinting, 22-year-old Saint Lucian sensation Julien Alfred has signed a partnership deal with Puma SE. The news follows a series of impressive performances from Alfred, including an unforgettable victory over American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson.
Puma first revealed its collaboration with Alfred through a social media post on Friday, July 21. The sprinter has been described as phenomenal due to her impressive achievements at the collegiate level, where she was able to win five National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) titles and became the first woman to break the seven-second barrier for 60 meters in the North American indoor tournament.
Now, as she turns professional in the sprinting league, Puma added Alfred to its roster of amazing athletes. As per Jamaica Observer, to mark her first race after becoming a pro, she competed in the women's 100-meter race at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial and won over American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson.
At that event, Albert reached the finish line at 10.89 seconds. Her win was made even more remarkable because she just handed Richardson her first defeat of the season in a race held in Hungary earlier this week.
Her most recent game participation was at the Monaco Diamond League 2023 on July 21. She placed second in this event as Shericka Jackson, the reigning women's world champion for the 200-meter, secured her victory by clocking 21.86 against Albert's 22.08.
"Julien is an incredible athlete, one we believe will continue to make history on the track," PUMA's head of sports marketing, Pascal Rolling, said in a press release. "She is the true embodiment of forever faster and our ambition to be the fastest brand on the planet – we are thrilled to have her join the PUMA family."
Julien Alfred also commented, "PUMA has such legendary status in athletics, so the decision to join their family was an easy one. I feel that together we can achieve great things on and off the track."
