The Bahamian pair of Steven Gardiner and Tynia Gaither ran out winners in the 100m at the American Track League meeting at the Life University in Marietta, Georgia on Saturday.
Danniel Thomas-Dodd won her second shot put competition on the trot following her victory from the previous weekend.
Gardiner, the 2019 World 400m champion, won his 100m heat in a smart 10.35. He edged Antigua’s Cejhae Green who clocked 10.38 and Devin Quinn 10.41. All three ran in the final heat of four where the times were far superior to those from the previous three heats.
Meanwhile, Gaither won the Women 100m in 11.61 over Madison Flemming 12.51.
Gaither booked her spot in the final by winning her in 11.57 ahead of Jamaican triple jumper Kimberly Williams (12.06) and sprint hurdler Rushelle Burton 12.35.
In the 400m, Chris-Ann Gordon-Powell was fourth in 52.75s. US athletes took the top three spots as Courtney Okolo won in 51.86 ahead of Jessica Beard 52.40 and Shamier Little 52.68.
Following up her 19.18m throw a week ago, Thomas-Dodd, the 2019 World Championship silver medallist set a mark of 18.65m in the shot put.
