Sprinter Darnetia Robinson placed seventh in the Youth Olympic Games 100 meters final on Saturday in Singapore, during the games that runs though Aug 26. Robinson, 17, had a time of 12.06 seconds, in the competition that targets 16-17 year olds. Robinson, who was third in her preliminary heat in 12.04 seconds, had the eight fastest time overall, thus qualifying for the A final from which the medal winners emerged.

After placing fourth in her Ceres Juices 10K Series debut last month, Maria Mays opened lots of eyes.

With the top finishers ahead of her absent for Saturday afternoon’s race through Road Town, Mays running a steady pace erased Zebalon McLean and Ian Mann’s lead in the last two miles, then held off Mann at the line, to win in 42 minutes 16 seconds—the same time as Mann. McLean was third in 44:21.
