Brown sprints to 100m gold

TRINIDAD and Tobago wonderboy runner Darrel Brown opened his European campaign yesterday in a blaze of glory in Patras, Greece.

The 18-year-old Arima lad, the world junior sprint king, beat experienced American Brian Lewis in the feature 100 metres, clocking 10.20 seconds. Runner-up Lewis was timed in 10.42 with a Greek runner filling third place. Brown’s Trinidad and Tobago compatriot and close friend Marc Brown also made a winning start, capturing the “B” Class 100 metres in 10.38 seconds.
