Burns wins Hampton’s 100-metre dash.
By: Jabari Fraser.

Marc Burns representing Rebirth won the Men’s Open & Invitational 100m on Saturday night at the 32nd International Hampton Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.

In front of a small crowd of approximately 300, Burns fought off stiff competition from Jamaica’s Christopher Williams to stop the clock in 10.02. Lining up at 8:55, six starters faced the gun under the stadium’s floodlights. After an even and quick start, Burns, Williams and T&T’s Jacey Harper separated themselves from the three other competitors. After the initial separation, the race was between Burns and Williams for second place. At just about the 80m mark, Burns was able to draw from his reserves and hold off the challenge from Williams who had a strong finish. Harper was far behind in third in a time of 10.22.

The women’s 100m preceded the race for men and Vonette Dixon, born in Jamaica but representing the USA had no problem winning the race. The 2002 Commonwealth 100m hurdles silver medallist ran 11.55, with Tremedia Brice of the USA crossing the line second in 11.79. Jurnelle Francis of Concorde was third in 12.09.

The men’s 400m was easily won by Damion Barry. After an even start, Barry showed his superiority over the athletes, powering down the back straight to the 200m mark. Running on the inside lane three, Barry ran the penultimate corner hard where he took a slim lead. The Tigers athlete stretched his lead coming into the last corner where he showed his power and late speed to get a significant lead on the second-placed David Warner of Rebirth. Barry cruised to the finish line in 47.29, his nearest rival crossing the line in 49.39.

Was this hand timed i am wondering or  could be a next magic carpet race

[willi]

Cant be hand timed as it goes to 1/100th of a second.

[Trini _2026]

our stadium has a fast track maybe had he run a 9.90 yuh would ah hear ting

[Tenorsaw]

Ah just weondering how credible that time is.  Will he get even near that time for the rest of the season.  Ato, where yuh?  Come give we yuh two cents.

[Jefferz]

congrats to him... buh he still need to break the 10.0 mark and he still need to be doin this kinda upset against the big names aswell...


again though congrats to the man... he works hard.

me he catching he tail to break 10.10 and all of ah sudden he blaze the HCF track. but i think out track is fast

[A.B.]

This track is that fast, based on CAC juniors a couple weeks ago.  New track.  It's legit.  Not just that, but the difference between his 10.10 or 10.20 lately and this is in the start - it's the first time he started for the whole damn year.  Good job by him.

But as you said, he has to go back out there (EUROPE) and run like the alpha male he ran like here.  He ran that race like it was his track.  Good sprinters do that no matter where they are.

That make sense Ato i think he is a big occasion sprinter but I've always maintained his start is piss poor and that gives him alot of work to do in most of the races he runs you think thats a problem because he is so tall....what do you think is the strength of his race?

[A.B.]

He tall like......ASAFA.....u ever see Asafa start?  Nothing ent wrong with being tall, its a mentality when u get to the line...I always tell him he goes passive, but he went very active at Hampton.

The false start out of the Athens 100m affected him and in many ways he never recovered.  You can't worry about the last race, or any prior race, as a sprinter.

I want to deviate a bit with this question If I may ...So ATO do you think that changing Brown's style in the past has hurt him ? i remember when the best part of his race was the acceleration towards the finish ..He always came from behind but had an unstoppable end. Then i think they tried to work on his early part of the race but he didn't get the desired result as he seemed to not have that acceleration again....
now i dont know what his particular style is ??
i rremeber you experimenting with this sort of thing trying to get a stronger end because you always started well ...maybe you can clear this up a bit for me ...an experts view ..I dont care if some may call it criticism !

[A.B.]

All should be able to start and finish well.  Marc fundamentally is poor at the start so its not so much that he is coming on at the end its that he is decelerating less at that stage. Optical illusion. Carl Lewis did it a lot. Just as in a car, if u are ahead and on the brakes harder than I am it will look like i am catching you fast.

Burns holds his top end speed maybe better than any other Trini sprinter ever, but is rarely in a position from the blocks to make a dent.

Ato what is the latest on dem fellas move to a new coach ?.. I cant find any news on it at all anywhere....perhaps it's on the downlow but I still wanna know ...feel free to enlighten us......Darryl concerns me he seems to be in a slump and i feel its mor emental than anything else and to me (well a soccer players prospective) that can be even more difficult to get out of than a physical slump in form.

[A.B.]

It should be out who soon.
