Jasmine Abrams sprinted to a bronze medal in the women’s 100m final clocking 11.50s, trailing Brazil’s Cristina Silva (11.31s) and Ecuador’s home star Marizol Landazuri (11.39s).
Jenea McCammon also copped bronze in the 100m hurdles in 13.63s lagging behind winner Ketiley Batista (12.96s) of Brazil and Diana Bazalar (13.47s) of Peru.
