 Bermuda's Paralympian Jessica Lewis has continued her excellent form at the Canadian Track & Field Championships in Ottawa, securing the top qualifying spot for the Women's 100m Wheelchair final.
Fresh off her silver medal performance in the 400m, Lewis demonstrated her speed and power over the shorter distance, dominating her preliminary heat.
Competing in Heat 1, Lewis clocked a blistering time of 16.79 seconds, a performance that saw her comfortably win the heat and set the fastest qualifying time of the day.
The second fastest time was recorded by Nandini Sharma, a T54 competitor, who won Heat 2 with a time of 17.29 seconds. Lewis's superior time of nearly half a second puts her in a strong position heading into the final.
Her performance not only highlights her exceptional sprint ability but also her consistent strength against a field that includes athletes from different classifications.
Lewis will now focus on the final, where she will be aiming to convert her top qualifying spot into a gold medal and cap off a very successful championship campaign in Ottawa.
