KINGSTON, Jamaica (Sporting Alert) — The following are the latest results from the men’s and women’s 100 metres dash semi-finals at the Jamaica National Track and Field Championships at the National Stadium in Kingston.

The world record holder took Michael Frater (10.02) and Commonwealth Games champion, Lerone Clarke (10.07) with him.
