ALLEN WINS IN BERLIN...
At the ISTAF Meeting at Berlin's Olympiastadion, former Renton resident Devon Allen followed up his victory in the 110 hurdles at the Wanda Diamond League finals Thursday with a win Sunday.
Allen had a little bit of breathing room compared to Thursday's Diamond League finals as he beat Jamaica's Ronald Levy by 1/100ths of a second, running 13.10 to Levy's 13.11.
In Zürich, Allen and Levy were both credited with identical times of 13.06, with Allen winning by the narrowest of margins.
The complete results of the ISTAF meeting are available here.
