Seville cops 100m in 9.91secs at Miramar Invitational

World Championships finalist Oblique Seville lived up to expectations after he won the men’s 100m final at Saturday’s Miramar Invitational, a World Athletics Continental Tour-silver event at Ansin Sports Complex in Florida.

Seville, who had run a season’s best 9.95 seconds (1.8m/s) in the first round to lead the qualifiers, clocked a wind-aided 9.91 seconds (2.2m/s) later in the final, beating compatriot Ackeem Blake (9.93 seconds) with Canadian World Championships relay medallist Aaron Brown taking third place with 9.97 seconds.

Blake had run a wind-aided 10.05 seconds (2.5m/s) in the first round, while Andrew Hudson who ran a personal best 10.07 seconds (1.8m/s) did not show for the finals.

Natasha Morrison was the best placed Jamaican in the women’s 100m, finishing fourth in a wind-aided 11.05 seconds as American Sha’Carri Richardson won with 10.57 seconds (4.1m/s) ahead of Twanisha Terry’s 10.83 seconds (4.1m/s) and Cambrea Sturgis’ 10.98 seconds (3.2m/s).

There was also a win for former Commonwealth Games champion Danniel Thomas-Dodd in the women’s shot put while Shericka Jackson was third in the women’s 400m.

Thomas-Dodd threw a season’s best 18.48m to win the women’s shot put event, the third best in the world so far with Lloydricia Cameron taking fourth place with 16.31m.

American Shamier Little won the women’s 400m, running 50.73 seconds, finishing ahead of two Jamaicans, Charokee Young (51.58 seconds) and Jackson (51.64) with Janieve Russell fifth in 52.77 seconds.

Amoi Brown was second in the women’s 100m hurdles with a wind-aided 12.69 seconds (2.2m/s), beaten by American Tonea Marshall (12.62 seconds) with Anna Cockrell third in 12.73 seconds.

Orlando Bennett was second in the 110m hurdles in a wind-aided 13.37 seconds (2.7m/s), beaten by American Eric Edwards (13.21), while Damion Thomas was fourth in 13.42 seconds.

Rajay Hamilton ran 1:47.42 minutes for second in his first 800m for the season, finishing behind Ryan Sanchez (1:46.59) with Kameron Jones in third with 1:47.47.

Shanice Porter was third in the women’s long jump with a wind-aided 6.59m (3.0m/s) as Nigerian Ruth Usro won with 6.82m (2.4m/s) and American Taliyah Brooks second with 6.65m (2.9m/s).

Former World Under-18 champion Marvin Williams was third in the men’s 400m hurdles, running 52.74 seconds while national record holder Rusheen McDonald was fourth in the men’s 400m, clocking 46.13 seconds.

Former World Championships gold medallist Tajay Gayle finished fifth in the men’s long jump with 7.76m (2.1m/s), his only legal mark coming in the fifth round.
