The American clocked 10.82 secs with the help of a +3.5 m/s tailwind to top the qualifiers heading into the final and returned about two hours later to post 10.73 with the help of an even stronger wind reading of +4.3 m/s to secure the top spot in the four section final.
Jenna Prandini of USA who is also preparing for the U.S. Championships, was right behind Sha’Carri Richardson in second place in a time of 10.75 after running 10.89 in the heats.
Another American sprinter, Twanisha Terry posted 10.85 for third place, with Jamaica’s Natalliah Whyte, who ran 10.86 (+3.5 m/s) to win the second section of the women’s 100m final, finishing fourth overall.
Sha’Carri Richardson was scheduled to run the 200m, but she opted to wash from the side as Prandini took the victory in 22.01 (+3.1 m/s). Also competing in the women’s 200m was former world 100m champion Tori Bowie who ran 23.60 secs.
