Jermaine Gonzales and fast-rising sprinter Yohan Blake were the pick of the Jamaican competitors on show at the Monaco Diamond League meeting yesterday.
Gonzales sped to victory in 44.40 seconds in the 400 metres, good enough for a new national record, erasing the 13-year mark of 44.49 set by Roxbert Martin on June 21, 1997, at the National Stadium.
