Devonish wins again

Devonish clocked in at 10.13s just one hundredth of a second ahead of Pickering, who had stormed out of the blocks to lead at the 50m mark. Mark Lewis-Francis took third.

"I'm having the season of my life, it's really exciting," Devonish told the BBC. "I felt a bit flat today but it's nice to come here like that and be victorious. I knew he [Pickering] was there."

Devonish won a bronze medal in the 200m at last year's European Championships but believes the 100m represents his best hope for the World Championships at the end of the month.

"The 100 is where I am mixing it," the 31-year-old continued. "It makes perfect sense to do it. Also the relay is a key part, I want to be fresh for that. But it may be out of my hands."

Heptathlete Jessica Ennis reinforced her status as one of the most exciting young athletes around as she stormed to two national titles - the 100m hurdles and the high jump.

Ennis raced away in the hurdles in 13.25s snatching the title away from Sarah Claxton. Claxton, chasing her fourth successive win in the event, looked on course for another victory until Ennis charged off the final hurdle to win by 0.06s. Gemma Bennett took third place just ahead of Commonwealth heptathlon gold medallist Kelly Sotherton.

Ennis again got the better of her multi-event rival Sotherton in the high jump just a couple of hours later with a leap of 1.87m.

Sotherton took second place clearing 1.80m at her first attempt with Stephanie Pywell in third, also clearing 1.80m although she needed two attempts.

Andy Turner retained his 110m hurdles title with an emphatic victory storming out of the blocks to beat Allan Scott in a time of 13.54s.

In the 1500m Katrina Wotton produced a mature run to overtake Charlene Thomas in the final straight and take the UK title in a personal best time of 4:0957s. European junior cross-country champion Stephanie Twell held off a late charge from Hannah England to take third while European 800m bronze medallist Becky Lyne, who continues her recovery from injury, finished fifth.

Nicola Sanders defended her 400m title with room to spare leading throughout to beat Donna Fraser by 10m in a time of 51.33s

Jeanette Kwakye edged out 2005 Laura Turner for the 100m in a photo finish with Joice Maduaka third in 11.68s.

Goldie Sayers won the women's javelin with a throw of 63.02m to break her own stadium record while Michael Rimmer retained his 800m title with ease. Rimmer, who finished fourth at the European Championships in Gothenburg last year, claimed victory in 1:04.06s ahead of Richard Hill and James Brewer.

British record-holder Chris Tomlinson needed to produce his best to win the long-jump with his last round effort of 7.99m.

Tomlinson, who had already achieved the World qualifying mark in Germany earlier in the month, was trailing Nathan Morgan until the final round, while Greg Rutherford, returning from injury finished third.

"I pulled that one out of the bag," Tomlinson said. "We were jumping into a headwind which was a bit of a shame because I would like to have gone over eight metres.

"I'm very confident about going to the World Championships and jumping far there. I'm very tired at the moment but I have a month to recover before Osaka. I'm confident of attacking my British record there."
