Nesta Carter was too good for Yohan Blake in the men s 200m.
Great Britain s Zharnel Hughes, veteran sprinter Nesta Carter and Roneisha McGregor had solid performances at a Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) qualification meet at the National Stadium on Saturday.
The day marked the return of track and field to Jamaica with six qualification meets across the country even as the authorities continue to grapple with the unrelenting surge in COVID-19 cases.
All sporting activities ceased shortly after Jamaica confirmed its first case of COVID-19 on March 10, last year.
Hughes recovered from a poor start to win the sixth heat of the men’s 100m in 10.37 seconds, against a -3.5mps wind reading. The time was easily the fastest over the six sections as there was no final for the event.
