WHEN the country's top female sprinters line up for the 100 metres final at 8:53 p.m. on Friday's second day of competition at the National Senior and Junior Championships at the National Stadium, fans are in for a treat.

Places will be up for grabs for the Commonwealth Games scheduled for Glasgow, Scotland, July 23 to August 2 and, besides that, there will be a lot of bragging rights at stake. While the likes of Shenese Walker, the newly minted NCAA Outdoor champion, Brianna Lyston and Gabrielle Matthews, who have all gone sub-11 seconds in the event, will be missing, history could be in the making as seven other ladies who have gone sub-11 seconds will face the starter in the preliminary round.

Defending champion Tina Clayton, who went on to win a silver medal at the Tokyo World Championships, has  a season's best 10.85. Her twin sister, Tia, who failed to finish last year due to injury and has a season's best 10.91, will be hungry for success here and will be seeking to steal the limelight from her sister.
