Re­birth's Richard Thomp­son broke his own na­tion­al men's 100 me­tre record yes­ter­day af­ter­noon, stop­ping the clock in 9.82 sec­onds to win gold on day two of the NGC/Sagi­cor Open Track and Field Cham­pi­onships at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um, Port-of-Spain, last night.Thomp­son, who held the pre­vi­ous record of 9.85 since 2011, was in a dif­fer­ent class yes­ter­day. At ap­prox­i­mate­ly the 60-me­tre mark Thomp­son, run­ning out of lane three, al­ready had a five-me­tre lead and gold was cer­tain for the Olympic ath­lete.

Fin­ish­ing be­hind Thomp­son was Sim­plex ath­lete Ke­ston Bled­man in a time of 10.00, while Thomp­son's Re­birth team-mate Dar­rel Brown was third in 10.05. Af­ter the record break­ing run Thomp­son was con­grat­u­lat­ed by his com­peti­tors and 100m women's cham­pi­on Michelle-Lee Ahye.A spe­cial mo­ment fol­lowed, as Thomp­son called for his one-year-old son Rhys to join him on the track to cel­e­brate. Thomp­son placed his son on his shoul­ders, cap­ping off a mem­o­rable mo­ment for the Thomp­son fam­i­ly.

Ear­li­er, Abi­lene Wild­cats ath­lete Jonathan Far­in­ha was dis­qual­i­fied from the 100m men's fi­nal for a false start, adding more ten­tion to the race.Be­fore the men's 100m fi­nal, Thomp­son's Re­birth team-mate Lee-Ahye eas­i­ly won the women's 100m fi­nal in 10.88, ahead of Air Bon Son­ics' Kai Selvon (11.32) and Re­yare Thomas of Neon Track­ers (11.37).In the semi­fi­nals, Lee-Ahye ran a light­ning time of 10.85. The na­tion­al record is 10.83, set by Kel­ly Ann Bap­tiste on June 22 last year.Fol­low­ing the sprints, a star-stud­ded cast in­clud­ing Ren­ny Quow, Lalonde Gor­don and Jar­rin Solomon lined up for the fi­nals of the men's 400m. En­ter­ing the last 100m Gor­don had the lead. How­ev­er, the Nike ath­lete could not hang on, as Zenith ath­lete Quow came back to edge Gor­don on the line to win gold in 45.073, just ahead of Gor­don in 45.077. Solomon grabbed bronze in 45.59.Ac­tion on the last day to­day be­gins at 2.30 pm.
