Archibald, Baird highlight Day 2 of National Seniors Championships

Emanuel Archibald held off challenges from a star-studded field to win the men’s 100m final in one of the highlights of Day 2 of the ongoing National Senior Championships yesterday at the National Track and Field Centre.

Archibald had easily qualified for the final after winning his semi-final race a day earlier in a time of 10.30 seconds, putting him in contention for his fourth title.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympian did not disappoint as he stormed to victory albeit in less than ideal conditions for sprinting for a time of 10.38s, holding off Noelex Holder (10.42s) and Akeem Stewart (10.46s) to claim the coveted title of Guyana’s fastest man once again.
