KINGSTON, Jamaica — Usain Bolt is revving up for the world championships in August, trying to find his top form for the Moscow meet. The world's fastest man clocked a 9.94 seconds in the 100 meters to win the final of the Jamaica National Atheltics Championships Friday night and sounded less than thrilled with his performance. “It's all about getting through and getting it done and that's what I did,” Bolt told reporters after the race in the island's national stadium, which was half empty on a calm Friday night in Kingston. Behind Bolt was Kemar Bailey-Cole at 9.98 and Nickel Ashmeade at 9.99. Former world record holder Asafa Powell did not finish in the top three to qualify for the worlds, shocking some of the decorated sprint star's many fans in Jamaica. At Friday's 100m final, Bolt's night was certainly made easier by the absence of teammate Yohan Blake. The Olympic silver medalist withdrew from the meet because of a hamstring injury that his agent says hasn't completely healed. But since Blake won the 100m at the 2011 worlds he has automatic qualification for the race at the August competition in Moscow. Bolt has dominated global sprinting for years. The powerful Jamaican has set world records (his mark stands at 9.58) and captured two straight Olympic 100-meter finals. At the US championships in Iowa Friday night, American sprinter Tyson Gay overcame a slow start to win the 100 meters, surging past Gatlin halfway through the race. Gay finished in a time of 9.75 seconds, the fastest in the world this season. At Jamaica's meet Friday, Kerron Stewart won the women's 100m. She ran 10.94 seconds, beating Sherone Simpson and Schillonie Calvert. Two-time Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce qualified for the worlds after dominating the Diamond League. Decorated female sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown is also missing Jamaica's national championships due to a positive drug test being investigated by an island anti-doping panel. — AP
