Jamaica’s 200m World Championships silver medallist Elaine Thompson, of MVP, ran a world-leading 11.07 seconds to win the 100m at the Seniors Link Up Meet at the Stadium East field yesterday.

Thompson, fresh from her 60m bronze medal at the IAAF World Indoors, got up out of the blocks well and powered away from a very good field for a comfortable victory to equal the 11.07 seconds done by Morolake Akinosun of the United States of America on April 2.

Sprintec’s Anneisha McLaughlin-Whilby was second in 11.41 ahead her teammate Audra Segree with 11.45, with Shimayra Williams of the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) fourth in 11.69 seconds.

Thompson’s time was accomplished in a 0.0 wind reading and upon learning of her time as she warmed down, a smile came across her face.

“We don’t have a lot of track meets this season, so it wasn’t a bad start and we didn’t get the wind that we expected so I just went out and executed,” she said.

Thompson, who burst onto the scene last year culminating with a fantastic 21.66 seconds for silver at the World Championships in the 200m behind Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers in 21.63, said her trek to the World Indoors has improved her start.

“I got a PB (personal best) so I mean that 60m helped me to do a better 100m from the start, so it was a good experience,” she added.

Meanwhile, double Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of MVP was third in the 200m in 23.24 seconds won by her teammate Stephenie-Ann McPherson in 23.12 seconds into a headwind of -2.8 m/s. World Championships 400m bronze medallist Shericka Jackson of UTech was second in 23.21 seconds. The Sprintec pair of Audra Segree and Anastasia LeRoy were fourth and fifth in 23.33 and 23.42 seconds, respectively.
