The American Track League sprinted through Midtown Atlanta on Saturday with field events and ton of track races. Danielle Williams, the 2015 World 100m hurdles champion, pulled off a win at the Georgia Tech track where several Jamaica athletes continued to fine tune their preparations for their national championships next month.

In other races, 400m hurdler Rhonda Whyte, quarter-miler D’Andre Anderson and 800m runner Rajay Hamilton were also among the winners.

Williams, the 2019 World Championship bronze medalist, ran a season best 12.62 into a headwind of -1.5m/s in what was a comfortable victory over Kaylor Harris, who ran a personal best 12.92 for second place. Mulern Jean claimed the other podium spot after running 13.04 for third place.
