Yesterday I updated the men's sprint rankings. Here's how the women stack up. Remember, these are merit rankings based on past performance, not a rating of who is "best" or who would win a future race.
100 meters
Rank Athlete NAT Pts
1 Carmelita Jeter USA 224
2 Veronica Campbell-Brown JAM 197
3 LaShauntea Moore USA 152
4 Kelly-Ann Baptiste TRI 119
5 Shelly-Ann Fraser JAM 104
6 Blessing Okagbare NGR 99
7 Allyson Felix USA 86
8 Sherone Simpson JAM 81
9 Chandra Sturrup BAH 80
10 LaVerne Jones-Ferrette ISV 71
11 Kerron Stewart JAM 66
12 Shalonda Solomon USA 58
13 Sheri-Ann Brooks JAM 48.5
14 Porscha Lucas USA 39
14 Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie BAH 39
16 Tianna Madison USA 36
17 Jeneba Tarmoh USA 35
17 Tahesia Harrigan IVB 35
19 Gloria Asumnu USA 32
20 Bianca Knight USA 29
Jeter and Campbell-Brown have split their two meetings at 100 meters. As the system does not reward under-racing, Jeter is on top. #10 Jones-Ferrette is ranked purely on her stellar indoor season and has not raced at all outdoors, leading to speculation as to why.

Campbell-Brown hasn't run the 200 a whole lot, but neither has anyone else. She and #2 Felix took the top spots at the Diamond League race in New York. #3 Solomon hasn't won too many races but is the next-most consistent. #7 Moore won the USATF Championships but that was her only race of note.
