Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown won the women's 200 meters in a world-leading 21.94 seconds, and Usain Bolt dipped under 20 seconds in the men's race Sunday in Jamaica's Olympic trials.

Campbell-Brown beat Kerron Stewart, the 100 winner Saturday who had a personal-best 21.99. Sherone Simpson, the Commonwealth Games champion, was third in 22.11.

"I am very proud because my training is going excellent," said Campbell-Brown, the Olympic 100 bronze medalist. "I always wanted to run under 22 seconds and I just executed very well from start to finish."

Bolt, the world 100 record-holder at 9.72 seconds, had no problem in taking the men's event in 19.97 seconds.

"It was a good race. I just came out here to qualify and I did just that, so I am very happy," Bolt said.

Marvin Anderson (20.17) was second, and Chris Williams (20.20) finished third.

In the men's 400, Michael Blackwood won in 45.21.

Rosemarie White had a big upset in the women's event, finishing in a personal-best 50.05 to beat Novlene Williams-Mills (50.11) and Shericka Williams (50.33).

In the women's 100 hurdles, Brigitte Foster-Hylton won in 12.50 seconds.
