"I've barely raced this season so it was probably less of a struggle for me to go out there and want to give it something, said Hodgkinson, who claimed a bronze medal at last month's World Championships in Tokyo after her campaign was marred by a hamstring injury. The atmosphere out there is crazy so it was really, really fun."
"Brown surged forward at the halfway mark and hung on through the final metres to win the 100m in 10.99sec, beating here compatriot Jacious Sears by just two hundredths of a second, with Kayla White (11.22) third. Brown, returned to the track an hour later, dominating the longer sprint with a personal best 21.89, beating her compatriot Anavia Battle (22.21) and Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith (22.65)."
Keely Hodgkinson won the 800m in 1:56.53 at New York's all-female Athlos meeting, recording only her sixth race after months out with injury. Georgia Hunter Bell finished second in 1:58.33 and St Vincent's Shafiqua Maloney took third in 1:58.57. Hodgkinson earned a World Championships bronze in Tokyo earlier and cited the lively Icahn Stadium atmosphere after her victory. American Brittany Brown achieved a sprint double, winning the 100m in 10.99 and the 200m in a personal best 21.89 after returning from laparoscopic surgery, beating Jacious Sears, Anavia Battle and Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith.
