Boys Champs 2008 Day 3 Results and Highlights

Adam Cummings of Munro College produced an unbelievable 10.91 seconds (wind +0.2 p/s) to win the Class Three 100 metres in a new record on yesterday’s penultimate day of competition of the 2008 GraceKennedy/ISSA Athletics Championships at the National Stadium in Kingston.

Cummings, who had finished sixth in last year’s final, exploded from the blocks and had the race won from the 60-metre mark as he opened up a five-metre lead on pre-race favourite Jazeel Murphy of Bridgeport (10.97secs).
Young Cummings, the son of Observer Photo Editor Bryan, bettered the old record of 10.99 done by Jamaica College’s Winston Barnes in 2003. Andre Robinson of St Jago was third in 11.37secs.

The script went according to plan in the Class One equivalent as World Junior bronze medallist and national record holder Yohan Blake of St Jago clocked 10.27secs to retain his title. Nickel Ashmead completed the quinella for the Danny Hawthorne-coached St Jago team with a fast finish to post 10.34. World Youth 100 metres gold medallist Dexter Lee of Herbert Morrison took bronze in 10.43secs, while Winston Barnes was fourth with 10.50. Earl Lee, who recently won the Under-17 sprint double at the Carifta trials, produced an impressive late finish to catch and beat Rolando Reid of Munro College in the Class Two equivalent. Lee was timed at 10.82secs, 0.01 ahead of Reid, while Kemar Bailey-Cole of Old Harbour High took bronze with 10.85.

At press time, Calabar led the standings with 109 points, after the Triple Jump Open. Kingston College was in second position on 101, followed by Jamaica College 70, St Jago 55 and Wolmer’s 46 to round out the top five.

National Junior 110 metre hurdles record holder (13.49secs) Keiron Stewart of KC pulled one of the major upsets of the meet by beating pre-race favourite Ryker Hylton of St Jago. Running in lane three, Stewart went past Hylton in lane five before the first hurdle and never relinquished that lead to win in 50.29secs
