Powell clocked a winning time of 10.08 seconds into a
headwind and was joined by Blake and Steve Mullings in claiming berths for
August's world championships in Daegu, South Korea.
Blake was a hundredth of a second behind Powell with
Mullings a very close third in 10.10 seconds.
World record holder Bolt did not compete in the trials
because he has a wildcard bye as the defending champion in both the 100 and 200.
Olympic 200 meters champion Veronica Campbell-Brown
comfortably claimed the women's 100 in a fast 10.84 seconds.
Beijing Olympic 100 meters co-silver medallist Kerron
Stewart was more than a tenth of a second adrift with Jura Levy taking third in
11.10.

Stewart's
Beijing co-medalist Sherone Simpson finished fourth.
