Shelly Ann clocks world leading 10.77 in 100m semi; loses final

MONTEGO BAY, St James — After running a world Leading 10.77 seconds in the semi-finals of the women’s 100m, defending World Champion Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce was fourth in the finals in 10.94 seconds on today’s final day of the two day London Diamond League at the Olympic Stadium.

Fraser Pryce, who also won the Olympic 100m title on the same track a year ago, appeared to have backed off in the final as she wrapped up her preparations for the IAAF World Championships set to start in two weeks in Moscow, Russia.

Kerron Stewart was sixth in 11.02 seconds as Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare won in an African Record 10.79 seconds ahead of American Barbara Pierre (10.85) seconds and Trinidad’s Kelly-Ann Baptiste- {10.93) seconds.

Schillionie Calvert also ran in the first round of the 100m clocking 11.32 seconds but failed to advance.

A Racers Track Club team of Mario Forsythe, Kemar Bailey-Cole, 200m winner Warren Weir and Usain Bolt who won the 100m on Friday ran 37.74 seconds to win the men’s 4x100m relay, the final track event of the final Diamond League meeting before the World Championships.

Anniesha McLaughlin was fifth in the women’s 200m in 22.88 seconds; the pair of Christine Day and Rosemarie Whyte were sixth and seventh respectively in the women’s 400m while Shermaine Williams was seventh in the women’s 100m hurdles in 13.16 seconds.

Leford Green placed seventh in the men’s 400m hurdles in 49.34 seconds while Dwight Thomas was fifth in the finals of the men’s 110m hurdles in 13.53 after running 13.50 seconds in the semis.
