Merlene je izjemna tudi po neverjetni seriji zaporednih zmag, ki so predstavljene spodaj. V teku na 100 m je tako nanizala serijo 57 zaporednih zmag, kar je doslej edinstven dosežek te vrste v svetovni atletiki in je najverjetneje neponovljiv, nič manj impozantna pa ni njena serija 34 zaporednih zmag v teku na 200 m - če pa štejemo oba teka, je bila Merlene nepremagana kar 76 tekem zapored.
