Olympic Games double sprint gold medallist Elaine Thompson gave a glimpse of what is to come this year, after she ran an effortless but slightly wind-aided 10.75 seconds (2.2m/s) to win the women’s 100-metre event at Saturday’s UTech Classics at the National Stadium.

The joint national record holder — tied with training partner Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce with a best of 10.70 seconds — looked easy as she got off to a good start and was ahead of the field by midway the race. She opened a big gap before easing through the tape.

Jura Levy was second, well back in 11.19 seconds, with Olympic Games sprint relay medallist Christania Williams third in 11.30 seconds.

Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain, who trains with the Glen Mills-led Racers Track Club, won the men’s 100m in a wind-aided 10.08 seconds (2.3m/s), winning the fourth heat.

Tyquendo Tracey of University of Technology, who won a competitive third heat in 10.18 seconds (2.7m/s), was second overall with World and Olympic relay gold medallist Nesta Carter third overall, also with 10.18 seconds.

Former World Champion Yohan Blake, the pre-race favourite had a disappointing evening and jogged through the tape in the fourth heat.

Blake appeared to slip out of the blocks and was well behind the field at the halfway stage, and slowed down to finish at the back of the field.

It was a good evening for World and Olympic Games 400m medallist Shericka Jackson, as she ran a personal best in the 200m for the first time in four years, after clocking 22.57 seconds (0.5m/s) as the third fastest in the world so far this year to win the event.

Her previous best over the half-lap event was 22.84 seconds in the Bahamas in 2013.

Her MVP training partner, Stephenie Ann McPherson was second in 23.19, with Natasha Morrison third in 23.72.

Miguel Francis, who recently switched national allegiance from Antigua to Great Britain, won the men’s 200m in 20.44 (1.7m/s), just getting to the line ahead of Commonwealth Game champion Rasheed Dwyer (20.45), with Jason Young of Racers third in 20.60 seconds.

World and Olympic Games medallist Warren Weir was fifth overall with 20.74s.

Ronald Levy scored an upset victory in the men’s 110m hurdles, beating Olympians Hansle Parchment and Deuce Carter to win in a wind-aided 13.15 seconds (2.2m/s).

Parchment, the national record holder and London Olympic Games bronze medallist, was second in 13.29, with Carter, a semi-finalist last year in Rio, taking third in 13.72.

Olympian Megan Simmonds outclassed the field in the women’s 100m hurdles, winning in 12.83 seconds (1.7m/s) as Ivanique Kemp was second in 13.28 seconds, and Austrian Stephanie Bendrat third in 13.51 seconds.

World Championships and Olympic Games discus throw finalist Fedrick Dacres won the men’s shot put with a personal best 20.46 metres, just off the World Championships qualifying mark of 20.50m. He beat Commonwealth Games champion and World Championships bronze medallist O’Dayne Richards (19.98m), with Alec-Verne Longmore third with 16.51m.
