The stunning victory is her fifth of the season, building on her impressive performance at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, thus making her stand as favourite to win the US indoor 60m title and with a good chance to challenge for the world title in March.
Last season, Sears was in exceptional form to break into the elite league of the world's best female sprinters after running a superb time of 10.77s to become the second-fastest woman in collegiate history behind Sha'Carri Richardson's record of 10.75s.
Sadly, a season-ending injury ended her Olympic dream and opportunity to make the US team.
With the heartbreak behind her and finally back to her best, Sears is consistently proving she's a force to be reckoned with and will be gunning to have her breakout season with the ultimate goal of making and winning a medal at the World Championships in August.
Meanwhile, a new 60m sensation emerged in the men's 60m final after Marcellus Moore stunned Bromell to a famous victory in a personal best of 6.56s, edging the 2016 world indoor champion who clocked a season's best of 6.59s.

Marcellus Moore may not have been the pre-race favorite, but he now has his fourth straight 60m win in 2025 with a 6.56 victory at Millrose, taking down Trayvon Bromell (6.59) and equaling his lifetime best. pic.twitter.com/9kZGlJ8yNs
