Fast and windy 100 for Baptiste

Williams clocks 400 best

Kelly-Ann Baptiste was victorious at the NTC/Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in Florida, USA, last Saturday. The Trinidad and Tobago sprinter topped a women's 100 metres race in a wind-assisted 10.94 seconds. The following wind was 4.1 metres per second—well above the 2.0 legal limit.

With a 5.2 wind at his back, Keston Bledman won a men's 100m event in 10.08 seconds. Kyle Greaux and Jovon Toppin also benefited from illegal following winds. Greaux finished fourth in a men's 200m race in 20.52, while Toppin was fourth in another men's 200m event in 21.97.

University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) quarter-miler Asa Guevara was second in the men's 400m "B" race in 47.44, and Texas A&M University's Infinite Tucker finished third in the men's 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles events, clocking 14.37 and 54.37.
