Toronto sprinter Aaron Brown picked up his third top-three placing in as many 200-metre races this season and first victory with a strong finish on Saturday in Nairobi, Kenya.
Elsewhere, Ethan Katzberg, fresh off a personal-best and season world-leading 78.41-metre hammer throw, placed second on Saturday with a best of 76.38 on the fourth of his six attempts at the Moi International Sports Centre.
Katzberg made headlines last August with a then-PB of 76.36 for a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. The throw surpassed his previous best by over two metres and is the Canadian under-23 record. With his fifth consecutive win to start the outdoor season, the 27-year-old Omanyala surpassed Jamaican Terrence Jones's 9.91 season world-leading time but fell short of American Trayvon Bromell's meet mark of 9.76.
