TWO-time World 100 metres hurdles champion Danielle Williams continued her unbeaten run in the women's 60m hurdles at Saturday's New Balance Indoor Grand Prix track meet in Boston, Massachusetts, winning in a world-leading 7.87 seconds.

Running against defending World Indoor champion Deveynne Charlton of The Bahamas, Williams had little difficulty in picking up her second indoor win of the season.

Charlton finished second in 7.92 seconds, just ahead of Christine Clemons of the United States (US), who was third in 7.94.

Jamaica's Megan Simmonds finished sixth in 8.21.

Jamaica had another success at the meet as Ackeem Blake improved on his previous season best of 6.70 seconds to win the men's 60m in 6.53 seconds. He finished ahead of Eloy Benitez of Puerto Rico, who clocked 6.56, with Jordan Anthony of the US third in 6.57.

Making her professional senior debut, former World Under-20 200m champion Brianna Lyston finished second in the women's 60m.

Lyston clocked 7.11 seconds, as she failed to peg back early leader Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain, who won in a season-best 7.08 seconds. Leah Bertrand of Trinidad and Tobago ended third in 7.32.
