ELAINE THOMPSON-HERAH stormed to meet record 10.91 seconds in the women's 100 metres at the Boris Hanzekovic Memorial meet in Zagreb yesterday.
Thompson-Herah erased lingering doubts about her current fitness when she ran past her rivals in the final 20 metres of the event. Countrywoman Brianna Lyston finished second in 10.94 to equal her season's best, and Ewa Swoboda of Poland was third in a season's best 10.98.
The win by Thompson-Herah was one of four victories by Jamaican athletes, all in meet- record performances, with three coming on the track and one the previous day in the field. Thompson-Herah broke the previous meet record of 10.93 set way back in 1988.
