YOUNG Mike Rodgers, who almost quit running two years ago, claimed the top prize in the men's 100 meters when he held on to win in a wind-assisted 9.91 seconds at the US world championships trials in Eugene, Oregon, on Friday.

Veteran Darvis Patton finished a close second with little-known Rae Edwards third to join defending world champion Tyson Gay on the American team for August's world championships in Berlin. Fast times also came in a wind-assisted women's final. Carmelita Jeter edged Olympian Muna Lee by one-hundredth of a second for the title, clocking 10.776 seconds to Lee's 10.777. Former world champion Lauryn Williams claimed third in 10.96 seconds.
