Campbell-brown
Reigning Olympic 200m champion, Veronica Campbell-Brown, stormed to a world-leading time at Saturday night's Reebok Grand Prix in New York.
Campbell executed well to clock a sizzling 10.91 seconds, then declared she's happy with her progression.
"I'm running good," Campbell-Brown was quoted as saying in an interview with The Associated Press. "My objective is to run faster than I did last year. I accomplished that and I'm happy."
Sherri-Ann Brooks, the Common-wealth Games 100m champion, was eighth in 11.19 while Marshevet Hooker (10.94) and Muna Lee (10.97) finished second and third, respectively.
Peta-Gaye Dowie, the 2000 national 100m champion, finished fourth in the women's B race in 11.29.
