STOCKHOLM, Sweden (CMC) – Jamaica’s Kerron Stewart sprinted to victory in the 100 metres of the Stockholm Diamond League meet on Thursday, the 12th installment for this season.

Stewart stopped the clock in a relatively slow 11.24 seconds and was the only winner among 10 Jamaicans in action at the event.
She had placed fifth in the final at the just concluded IAAF World Championships in Moscow.
The United States pair of Alexandria Anderson and Barbara Pierre were second and third in 11.25 and 11.29, respectively.
Jamaica’s other representative in the race, Schillonie Calvert, could only manage a seventh place finish in 11.49.
Defending Diamond League 400m hurdles champion, Kaliese Spencer, recovered from a disappointing Worlds to run a season best (SB) of 54.88 seconds, as she finished runner-up to world champion Zuzana Hejnova.
Novlene Williams-Mills was the best placed of the three Jamaicans in the women’s 400m, placing third in the one-lap event.
