Fraser-Pryce, Powell are Jamaica's fastest

Former world record holder Asafa Powell surged to the 100 metres title at the Jamaican national trials last Friday in a time of 9.84 seconds, while 2011 world champion Yohan Blake failed to make it out of his semi-final.

In the women's final, double Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce scorched home in 10.79 seconds, the best in the world this year, to lay down a marker ahead of her 100m title defence at August's world championships in Beijing.

In the absence of Usain Bolt, whose decision not to run in raised fresh concerns about his fitness, Powell pulled away from the field in the last 20m to equal his season best.

Nickel Ashmeade leaned at the tape to take second in 9.91 while Commonwealth champion Kemar Bailey-Cole was third in 9.97.
Nesta Carter, who won bronze in Moscow, also dipped below 10 seconds with 9.98 but will have to settle for relay duties in Beijing.
Blake, the 2012 Olympic 100 and 200m silver medallist, placed sixth in Powell's semifinal in a time of 10.36.
