Melaine Walker reaffirmed her dominance on a field that many thought she had lost after a poor showing through the year after she won the 400M hurdles at the World Championships. Walker got ideal positioning for the race and was able to pace herself on race favourite Demus and pushed hard through to the finish on the home stretch to cop the Gold. Of note also is Josanne Lucas putting together a sterling performance to run a national record and place third in the same race. Race results are as follows:
