Emanuel Archibald crouched in the starting blocks last night with Akeem Stewart two lanes to his right and knew he would need a special performance to beat his sprint rival.
The 24 year-old ran a personal best en route to winning the blue-riband 100 metres at the National Senior Championships staged at the Track and Field Centre at Leonora.
Archibald, a blur in his black Adidas singlet, pulled away from Stewart over his first blistering few strides, then crossed in 10.18s.
