Gabby Thomas endured heartbreak at the 2022 U.S. championships as a hamstring injury derailed her tilt at the 200m title but she made up for that on Sunday by posting a world leading time of 21.60 to win this year's event.

Thomas, in her signature event, grabbed the lead at the halfway point and came home more than three tenths of a second ahead of 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson, with Kayla White edging last year's winner Abby Steiner to take third in 22.01. "Coming here last year and being injured was really heartbreaking for me so I was really ready this year," Thomas said.

Double world silver medallist Benjamin showed his class in the 400m hurdles final by clocking 46.62, with CJ Allen posting 48.18 in second and Trevor Bassitt third in 48.26.
