MONTEGO BAY, St James — Olympic 200m bronze medallist Warren Weir led a trio of Jamaican winners at yesterday's Istvan Gyulai Memorial meet in Budapest, Hungary.
The national senior 200m champion won his pet event, while Rose Marie Whyte and Andrew Riley were also winners.

Weir ran a meet record 20.01 seconds to beat training partner Jason Young, who continues to improve with a season's best 20.07 seconds, while another Jamaican, Mario Forsythe, was sixth in 20.88 seconds.
Weir's run was adjudged the meet's top performance and he took home the Bojidar Spiriev award.
Whyte, a two-time Olympic finalist, won the 400m in 51.20 seconds to beat American Monica Hargrove, while another Jamaican, Shericka Williams, finished fourth in 52.28 seconds.
Riley, who last week became the second fastest Jamaican ever over the 110m hurdles when he ran a personal best 13.14 seconds, won with 13.27 seconds, just beating world champion Jason Richardson (13.28 seconds) and another American, Kevin Craddock, who ran a personal best 13.42 seconds.
Kemar Bailey Cole with 10.07 seconds and Jacques Harvey with 10.18 seconds finished second and third, respectively, in the men's 100m behind Kim Collins in 9.99 seconds.
