Led by Fred Kerley, Americans sweep 100 meters and Chase Ealey gets shot put gold at World Championships

The American men swept the medals in the 100 meters at the World Athletics Championships on Saturday night.

Fred Kerley was the gold medalist, out-leaning Marvin Bracy. Kerley's time was 9.86 seconds and Bracey's 9.88 seconds. The bronze medalist was Trayvon Bromell in 9.88 seconds (officials went to thousandths of a second to decide second and third; Bracy clocked 9.874 to 9.876 for Bromell).

There were three gold medals awarded in the evening session Saturday, and Americans got two of them: Chase Ealey won women's shot put just before the showdown in the 100.
