Yohan Blacke Beats Bolt in 9.75 secs

A new National Record by Shelly-Ann-Fraser Pryce and a new personal best from World champion Yohan Blake highlighted last night's festival of speed on the second night of the JAAA/ Supreme Ventures National Senior Championships at the National Stadium.

Fraser-Pryce powered to a blistering 10.70 seconds, beating her old 10.73 seconds to retain her title, while Blake was devastating as he destroyed a brilliant field that included World Record holder Usain Bolt to win in 9.75 seconds.

Both times were world leading performances as the Jamaicans sent a message they will be hard to beat at the Olympics later this year in London.

Veronica Campbell Brown was second in the women's race in a season's best 10.82 seconds and Kerron Stewart third in 10.94 seconds.

Bolt, who complained about his start, was second in 9.86 seconds after catching a faststarting Asafa Powell, who was third in 9.88 seconds.

Earlier in the semi-finals Powell who had just recently flown to Miami to seek treatment on a groin injury, set the pace with an easy looking 9.92 seconds clocking looking over to Blake to his left during the final 20 metres of the race. Carter was second in 9.95 seconds and Blake third in 9.96 seconds

Bolt appeared to sit back in his semi-finals allowing Frater to set the pace, winning in 10.01 seconds. Bolt clocked 10.02, Lerone Clarke 10.0, and Jacques Harvey 10.08 seconds.
