Freeman ... recorded victory in 100m hurdles and Mcdonald ... second in men's 400m race.

PRINCETON, New Jersey, CANA:

JAMAICANS Michelle Freeman and Patrick Jarrett scored victories on a day world star Marion Jones produced a moderate win at the Golden Spike Tour Open on Saturday.

Freeman won the women's 100 metre hurdles and Jarrett topped the men's 100 metre field, while Jones won the women's 100 in a rare slower than 11-second effort.

Freeman led a Jamaican sweep of the top four places in the sprint hurdles.

Against a negative wind of 1.3 metres per second, Freeman won in 13.00 seconds, to beat her teammates Vonette Dixon (13.17), Dionne Rose (13.18), and Lacena Golding (13.20).

Jarrett powered to a 10.22 win over American JJ Johnson in the men's 100 metres in a 0.8 mps head-wind.

Jones, the 2000 Olympic sprint double champion, won in 11.12 seconds assisted by a 0.7 mps following wind, beating fellow American Latasha Jenkins (11.36) and Bahamian Sevatheda Fynes (11.37).

Jamaican Merlene Frazer was fifth in 11.74 seconds.

Jamaica's Michael McDonald, who won at the IAAF Brazil grand prix in Rio last weekend, was second in the men's 400 metres in 44.78 seconds, beaten by American Angelo Taylor (44.68).

Terrence Trammell of the US, landed the men's 110 metre hurdles in 13.43 seconds, with Jamaican Maurice Wignall fourth in 13.82.
