Former world 100mH champion Tobi Amusan will run the women's 100m A race at the Racers Grand Prix this weekend, gunning for a win and fast time.

World Record holder Tobi Amusan is set to face a stacked field of Jamaica's best 100m sprinters at the Racers Grand Prix on Saturday, June 7.

The meet which is part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Silver series, will majorly be used as a build-up for Jamaican athletes ahead of their national championships.

Amusan, who now trains in Jamaica with renowned Usain Bolt's coach Glen Mills, will test her flat speed against a stacked field that includes world's fastest twins Tia and Tina Clayton, who have respective Season's Best (SB) times of 10.92s and 11.02s.

Others in the field capable of challenging for a win are the American duo of Jacious Sears and Mikiah Brisco, and the Jamaican trio of Kemba Nelson, Alana Reid, and Ashanti Moore.

Amusan stands a chance to hold her own against the established sprinters as her time of 11.28s early in the season is impressive enough, and considering her string of impressive performances in her past few hurdling races, she's definitely in shape to lower the time.

In addition, she blazed to her first hurdles victory of the season at the Rabat Diamond League two weeks ago, where she clocked a brilliant time of 12.44s.

Amusan will aim to lower her 100m time and a good position finish as she continues preparations ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
