Elaine Thompson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce lit up the Jamaican National Championships on Friday as they tied for first place in the women’s 100m final with a time of 10.73sec. The sprint event lived up to expectations as the women, who combine for eight World Championships and Olympic individual gold medals, put on a show crossing the line together with Briana Williams in third in 10.94sec. Yohan Blake won the men’s 100m in a season’s best 9.96sec, holding off the challenge of Tyquendo Tracey (10.00sec). Tissanna Hickling, who had achieved the qualifying mark for the IAAF world Championships earlier this year, won the women’s long jump with a 6.78m leap. Three US collegians took the top places in the women’s discs throw with Shadae Lawrence winning with a toss of 61.41m.
