GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, CMC – World 100 metres champion Yohan Blake stormed to the second fastest time in the world this year to win the 100 metres at the Cayman Invitational here Wednesday night.
The 22-year-old clocked 9.84 seconds to finish ahead of fellow Jamaican Michael Frater (10.05) and Trinidadian Keston Bledman (10.06) who were second and third respectively.
Blake’s time comes just a week after Olympic 100m champions and World record holder Usain Bolt clocked a world-leading 9.82 at the JN Invitational in Kingston last weekend.
