Michelle Lee Ahye ran a season-best 10.94 to win the 100m at the American Track League Orange County Classic in California on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Trinidadian bested the field that included Americans Morolake Akinosun, who ran 10.98 for second place in the race aided by a legal wind of 2.0 m/s. Twanisha Terry, who ran 10.94 for victory at the Pure Athletics Global Invitational on May 1, finished third in 11.01.
This was the second time this season that Ahye has gone below 11 seconds in the 100m. She ran 10.96 for a third-place finish in her heat at the USATF Golden Games on April 16. She did not finish the final.
Tristan James of Dominica was also among the winners at the meet, jumping 7.86m to win the long jump competition. In what was a close battle, James emerged the victor over Kemonie Briggs, whose best of 7.81 secured second place while Dhanushka Piyarathne of Sri Lanka’s 7.76m leap earned him third place.
The oft-injured Javon Francis made a rare appearance in the 400m where he finished third in 46.09 behind the winner Tyler Terry 45.51 and Paul Dedewo (45.72).
Quarter-miler Roneisha McGregor was also third in the women’s 200m in a wind-assisted 23.18 (3.2m/s). Akinosun won the race in 22.67 with Lauren Rain Williams-James second in 22.83.
