<span style="font-weight: bold">Kim Collins sets New Pan Am 100m Record in the Semis, Clarke Edges Him in Final</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Unchallenged Kim Collins eases his way into the finals</span>
Kim Collins has proven he is only getting better with age. On Monday, (24th October, 2011) Collins shattered a 28 year old Pan Am Games record when he ran a time of 10.00, eclipsing the old record of 10.06 seconds held by Cuba’s Penalver Leandro.
Running out of lane 4 Collins looked at ease and was never challenged in the race by any of the other competitors. After two false starts in his heat, Kim remained focus and was able to demonstrate to the western hemisphere his true potentials. Kim won his heat resoundingly establishing a new Pan American Games Record of 10.00 seconds, 200ths of a second from his lifetime best.

Lerone Clarke lived up to Jamaica’s worldwide reputation in the sprints, taking the 100m final in a close race with St. Kitts and Nevis’ 2003 World champion and 2011 Daegu bronze medallist Kim Collins, who ran a Pan American Games record of 10.00 sec in the second semi-final on Monday (24).
The 30-year old blazed to the second fastest race in his career (10.01) to edge out Collins, who had to settle for second with 10.04. Trinidad and Tobago’s Emmanuel Callender held on for third in 10.16.
Clarke became only the third Jamaican to win the 100m in the 60-year history of the Games, following Donald Quarrie in 1971 and Michael Frater in 2003.</span>

Basseterre, St. Kitts-After many campaigns, St. Kitts & Nevis has finally won its first medal at the Pan-Am Games and it took the indomitable veteran Kim Collins to place the seal of recognition and achievement on behalf of his ever grateful nation.
After his record breaking performance the 35 year old Collins was firm favourite going into the Finals of the 100meters on Tuesday night, but unfortunately he was edged out of the Gold Medal by a Jamaican sprinter, Lerone Clarke, leaving him with the Silver. Running from the 3rd lane with a +0.2 headwind, Kim got off to his usual fast start but was challenged all the way by Lerone Clark who himself got a fast start and went on to edge Collins10.04 on the line with a 10.02 clocking. In third place was Emanuel Callender of Trinidad & Tobago, making it an all-Caribbean affair.
Earlier this year, after his outstanding performance at the 2011 World Games, where he won a bronze medal, Collins had indicated that one of the reasons he dusted off his track shoes was because the country had not yet found a successor who could carry the banner of the national flag at the international level, winning titles and medals. In particular, he wanted to make sure that his country occupied a position on the podium at the 2011 Pan Am Games, thus his decision to participate. It was a good decision because it ended with him breaking a two decades old record, to become the holder of the 100m record at the Pan Am Games, when he ran 10.00 in his heat to qualify for the Finals on Tuesday morning.
Next up for team St. Kitts & Nevis is the 200m in which Atoine Adams, Brijesh Lawrence and Tamika Williams will be competing in and on Thursday the holders of the IAAF World Championships bronze medal will be in action in the 4x100m preliminary round.</div></div>

Basseterre, St. Kitts-When the top sprint nations of the Americas line up in Mexico on Friday, the flag of the small
Caribbean nation of St. Kitts & Nevis will be among those being proudly displayed, as the country’s male relay team competes,
for the first time, in the Finals of the 4x100m competition.
This outstanding achievement by St. Kitts & Nevis follows other “firsts” that the country has experienced at the 2011 games.
Just a few days ago, Kim Collins made history when he broke the 28 year 100m record, to make his mark as the new record
holder of the games, with his stunning 10:00s finish in the event. Later in the day he moved on to secure the Silver medal in
the Finals of the 100m.
Now team St. Kitts & Nevis is in the Finals of the male 4x100m relay, which is scheduled for 7:00 PM tonight. St. Kitts and
Nevis will be running out of lane 6 and will be competing against Mexico, Bahamas, United States, Chile, Cuba, Brazil and

The Brazilian girls, who ran the final in Daegu, improved their South American record (42.92) set in the Korean city to 42.85 to win their country’s first ever women’s 4x100m gold at the continental level.
The quartet was formed by 200 winner Ana Claudia Silva, Vanda Gomes, Franciela Krasucki and 100m champion Rosângela Santos. The USA (43.10) and Colombia (43.44) completed the medallists.
With three quarter milers, Cuban 4x400m team posted an impressive 2:59.43, their first sub three-minute clocking since winning the 1992 Olympic bronze.
