Shakeim Greaves of Barbados was quickest out of the blocks with Trinidad and Tobago's Moriba Morain reeling him in with every stride, but Adams would find another gear to collar the front two in the dying stage.

Morain returned 11.65 for second place while Greaves held third in 10.70.

In the women's invitational 100m USA's Shayla Mahan retained the title she won last year when she burst clear mid-race to win unchallenged in 11.60 seconds.

Kisorio covered the distance in four minutes, 01:27 seconds with Coughier in 4:01:70 and Novak, 4.05:17.
