World Athletics Championship: Fred Kerley clinches men's 100m gold

EUGENE: Fred Kerley led an American clean sweep in the 100 metres final on Saturday, the first since 1991, to send the home fans wild and give the sport's dominant nation a night to remember as they hosted the World Championships for the first time. Kerley timed his dip perfectly to clock 9.86 seconds as Marvin Bracy took silver and Trayvon Bromell bronze, both with 9.88 seconds, but Bracy edging it by two thousandths of a second. A fourth American in the final, defending champion Christian Coleman, finished sixth. Carl Lewis led clean sweeps in 1983 and 1991 but no nation has managed it since. Agencies
