Another record run by Williams

Jamaica's 19 year-0ld sprint star Briana Williams maintained her fantastic mid-year form when she lowered her National Junior 100 metres record for the second time in two days.

Competing at the America Track League meet in Jacksonville, Florida, last night Williams clocked 10.98 seconds to win the 100m. The time beat the 11.01 mark she set on Sunday. American Mikiah Brisco was second in 11.09 and her compatriot Dezerea Bryant, third in 11.14.

Yohan Blake was second in the men's 100m in 10.09 seconds. The race was won by American Ronnie Baker in 9.99.

Sprint hurdler Britanny Anderson was also in impressive form at the meet. The 2017 World Under-18 100 metres hurdles champion won her pet event in 12.59 seconds after clocking a personal best 12.58 in the heats.

Anderson pressed world leader Jasmine Camacho of Puerto Rico all the way to finish a close second in her heat. She then took advantage after the Puerto Rican's was disqualified for false-starting in the final.

Poor start

Despite a poor start Anderson ran on strongly to claim a good win. American Christina Clemons took second in 12.63 while Jamaica's Danielle Williams was third in a season's best 12.65.

Earlier in the women's 400 metres hurdles Jamaicans placed second and third. Ronda Whyte raced to second in a season's best 54.33 seconds as Shian Salmon was third in a personal best 54.97. American Shamier Little won the event in a world leading 53.12.

In the men's 400 metres, Christopher Taylor had to settle for fourth in 45.75 as Michael Cherry of the United States won in 44.74.

Orlando Bennett ended fifth in the men's 110m hurdles in 13.47 seconds as Omar McLeod after clocking 13.16 to win his heat failed to show for the final. The race was won by world leader Grant Halloway of the United States in 13.10.
