#Champs2019: Cbar’s Seville clocks second fastest Champs 100m time
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Calabar’s Oblique Seville and Ashanti Moore of Hydel won the boys’ and girls’ Class One 100m titles at the 109th ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletic Championships underway at the National Stadium.
Seville who showed great form throughout the rounds, brought good form into play to win in a big personal best of 10.13 seconds, the second fastest time in Champs history as it was just shy of the record of 10.12 set by Zharnel Hughes in 2014.
The wind reading was positive 1.4 metres per second.
Ryiem Robertson of Jamaica College was second in 10.18 with Conroy Jones (10.32) of St Elizabeth Technical (STETHS) in third.
Earlier, the powerfully-built Moore left the field in her wake to win in a personal best of 11.17, some four-hundredths of a second outside Veronica Campbell-Brown’s mark of 11.13 set in 2001. The time was done in a positive 1.0 metres per second wind reading.
Moore, who was initially a heptathlon athlete, switched to the sprints where she has become a dominant figure.
She won ahead of defending champion Ockera Myrie (11.51) of Petersfield with St Jago’s Kayla Bonnick (11.68) taking bronze.
