White sprints to 100m glory with season’s best

AMERICAN Kelli White won the women’s 100m title last night.

The 26-year-old, who was seventh in the final two years ago, timed a season-leading 10.95sec, beating compatriot Torri Edwards into second, while 2001 champion Zhanna Blocka of the Ukraine took third.

The absence of Marion Jones, who gave birth earlier this year, mattered not a jot to the feisty American.
