KINGSTON, Jamaica — Bryan Levell ran a massive personal best 9.82 seconds to break the meet record at the Raiffeisen Austrian Open Eisenstadt at the Leichtathletik Arena, a World Athletics Continental Tour- Silver meet, on Wednesday.
Levell, the men’s 200m national champion, broke his previous best 9.94 seconds set at the National Championships last month, and jumps 10 spots to become the eighth fastest Jamaican man in the event ever.
The athlete, who ran a wind-aided 19.79 seconds in the 200m at the Racers Grand Prix last month, replaces compatriot Oblique Seville as the second fastest man in the world this year, behind Kishane Thompson’s 9.75 seconds.
