Amy Hunt retained her British 100m title while Romell Glave became the men's 100m champion for the first time on Saturday.

Asher-Smith was second with a season's best of 11.13 while Mabel Akande was third with a personal best of 11.18.
The European Championships will be held at the same venue from 10-16 August. Hunt told the crowd: "This was a nice dry run for the Europeans so if you can come out and be my lucky charm again, we can get another gold."
Glave made a fine start to the men's final. although Zharnel Hughes stormed back, the two-time national champion had left himself too much to do.
After running a wind-assisted 9.88 in Italy last month. Glave legally broke the 10-second barrier for the first time, winning in 9.98.
Hughes was second with a season's best of 10.01, with Louie Hinchliffe third (10.03). Jeremiah Azu fourth with the same time.
Glave, 26, said: "I just came here running with freedom, and a person that's running with freedom is dangerous. I put myself in that field and executed my best race."
