Running the fastest time in the world this year under any conditions, 2004 U.S. indoor 60m champion Shawn Crawford led a U.S. sweep of the men's 100 meters Friday at the Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix in Doha, Qatar. LaTasha Colander won the women's 200m.

The 2001 world indoor 200m champion and 2004 world indoor 60m silver medalist, Crawford won the 100m final in Doha with a speedy, wind-aided (+2.6) time of 9.86 seconds. 2003 world indoor 60m gold medalist Justin Gatlin, who trains with Crawford, was second in 9.95 seconds, with 2001 World University Games gold medalist Marcus Brunson third in 9.96. In the heats, Crawford had run 9.90 (+3.6), Gatlin 9.92 (+3.6) and Brunson 9.95 (+4.2).

In women's competition, 2000 Olympic Trials 400m champion LaTasha Colander proved she is a contender in the shorter sprints by running a wind-legal (+.6) 22.50 seconds, the second- fastest time in the world so far in 2004. 2001 U.S. 100m champion Chryste Gaines was second in 23.28.
