Anderson, who won the first stop of the ATL series in Atlanta last month, ran 49.48 to easily turn back Nigeria’s Miles Ukaoma, who ran 49.77.

University of Washington alum Diamara Planell Cruz, competing in her last meet before heading to Rio as a member of the Puerto Rican team, failed to clear the opening height in the pole vault of 13-9.25 (4.20m), as another US Olympian, Sandi Morris won in an American record 16-2 (4.93m).
