KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – As expected, Olympic champion Usain Bolt completed the sprint double for the second straight season, while Veronica Campbell-Brown ran away with the women’s 200 metres dash, on the third and final day of the National Track and Field Championships here.

Bolt sealed the double with an easy-looking 20.25 seconds, running into a headwind of -2.5 m/s at the National Stadium to beat Steve Mullings who placed second in 20.40 and Marvin Anderson, third in 20.63.

“I’m feeling alright. I’m a little bit tired because I am not really in the best shape of my life, but I’m OK,” Bolt said afterward.
“There were a lot of fast guys behind me so I ran the corner pretty hard, came off, saw where I was and shut it down.”

Campbell-Brown, who will chase her first World Championships 200m crown in Berlin, finished first in 22.40 seconds into a headwind of -1.1 m/s.
Shelly Ann Fraser, who won the 100m on Saturday, finished second in 22.58 seconds with former junior star Simone Facey taking third in 22.96.
Campbell-Brown said: “I’m not 100 per cent over the toe injury but it is good enough. I can get the training done.”

Kerron Stewart, who was third in the 200m at last year’s Olympics, did not start because of a sore ankle, her coach Henry Rolle explained.
Sherone Simpson was also a non-starter but her coach Stephen Francis could not be reached for an explanation.

Delloreen Ennis-London won the women’s 100m hurdles in 12.79 seconds, with Commonwealth Games champion Brigitte Foster-Hylton second in 12.87 seconds and Lacena Golding-Clarke close behind in third in12.89 seconds.

The 110m hurdles went to perennial winner Maurice Wignall, who raced home in 13.48 seconds, defeating former double sprint Champion Dwight Thomas (13.50) and Richard Phillips (13.61).

Novlene Williams-Mills surprised Olympic silver medalist Shericka Williams to crown herself National champion over the 400m dash.
Williams-Mills, the bronze medal winner in this event at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, posted 50.21 seconds to defeat Williams (50.39) and Christine Day (51.54).

The men’s title went to Ricardo Chambers in 45.55 in a thrilling finish, with Allodin Fothergill the second place finisher with a time of 45.57 and Lansford Spence, third in 45.78.

Kenia Sinclair won the women’s 800m in two minutes, 01.63 seconds.
