Aaron Brown (CAN) 2nd in HEAT 1 - 10.37
I felt it went pretty good. I didn't get the best of starts. I just held myself to the end.
Hopefully tomorrow I can go a lot faster.
My start is always my weakness, but I feel I can get off better than I did - better reaction time, better drive phase. If I can do that I know I can go a lot faster tomorrow.
Dexter Lee (JAM) 1st in HEAT 2 - 10.38
Very well. Good. I'm coming out here to do my best and qualify for the finals.
[My strategy is] just to qualify, just to get a good start in the first 40 metres.
Deji Tobais (GBR) 1st in HEAT 3 - 10.49
It went all right. My start was a bit off. But today was just about qualifying (in the) first two. I didn't want to be part of the eight fastest losers.
I felt comfortable. After the first 30 metres I can always tell where I am and how I'm going to do in the race. The first 30 was good for me and I knew where I was going to be.
(I need to work on) my drive phase, definitely. Probably my reaction time. That's what I'm going to try to do for the semi-finals, and hopefully it will be a quicker time.
Geno Jones (BAH) 3rd in HEAT 3 â€" 10.66
I feel good. I didn't get the start I wanted but thank god no injuries happened. I didn't react as quick as I wanted to coming out of the block, but I hope I get back for the next round to change that.
More mental stuff, listening for that gun quicker, stuff like that [will help me prepare next time].
Probably finishing the race, finishing strong [was the biggest challenge].
I love Moncton so far!
Warren Fraser (BAH ) 1st in HEAT 4 â€" 10.46 (PB)
I haven't been competing well . That (my time) 10.46 is ok but I think I can do a lot better out of the blocks. Didn't feel like I came out executing by pushing as I was taught . It was a lot better than I have been all season. I'm taking it one race at a time.
Charles SILMON (USA) 1st in HEAT 5 â€" 10.33
I'm feeling great. Just cruised it, just cruised the last 40. I'm feeling real great. I'm feeling like I can win this thing,
[My strategy is] just to get out. I have a strong finish, so if I get out with the group, it's all about the end.
My goal time is 10.1, 10.0. That's my goal.
Michael Granger (USA) - 1st in HEAT 6 - 10.47
It didn't go as well as I'd have liked it to, but it went good. I just wanted to get out, have a good drive and coast the rest of the way, and keep in first.
I really wasn't too worried about the time, but I think I'll run a little bit faster.
I didn't drive as long as I usually do, but the whole race went pretty good. There's just some stuff I need to improve, like my top end. I should have worked on it a little bit, but I'm OK with it.
For the semi-finals, I just want to drive out, go a little bit longer and just make it to the next round - the finals.
Wade JOOSTE (RSA) 2nd in HEAT 6 â€" 10.60
I'm feeling really good. It was pretty tight, so it wasn't what I wanted it to be, but it was good.
I had some challenges. My start wasn't too good, but I will work on that now before tomorrow. I'm just going to give it my all.
Moncton is very fun, I'm having a great time.
Gideon Trotter (RSA) â€" 1st in HEAT 7 - 10.52
I didn't have a good start but my end...I'm happy with that.(To get ready for the final) I'm going to go work on my start and get some rest.
Sabian Cox (TRI) 2nd in Heat 7 â€" 10.67
It felt okay. Next round I'm going to see if I can do better.
Jimmy VICAUT (FRA) 1st in Heat 8 â€" 10.53
I had a pretty quick start, pushed from 20 metres to 40 metres and eased up to finish. I'm disappointed, not so much with the time, but the race.
Jason ROGERS (SKN) 2nd in Heat 8 â€" 10.54
The race was a bit tight, but it was good. [My strategy is to] get out the blocks, just try a little harder.
A lot of athletes here, a lot of competition. There are some real fast times, but it's good. My goal time is to get under 10.2.
