Stephen Awino 23:19 - 11.07.2025

Julien Alfred blazed to a season-best to win the women’s 100m at the Monaco Diamond League.

Julien Alfred reaffirmed her elite sprinting status with a commanding victory in the women’s 100m at the Monaco Diamond League on Friday July 11, clocking a blistering 10.79 seconds to win the race in style.

The Saint Lucian star left no doubt about her form as she powered away from the competition, delivering a statement performance ahead of the 2025 World Athletics Championships.

Coming off a recent loss at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Alfred showcased her trademark explosive start and exceptional top-end speed to claim the win.

It was a clinical and composed display that reminded the athletics world why she remains one of the leading contenders for World Championship gold.

Americans Trail as Alfred Shines

USA's Jacious Sears, one of the rising sprint talents this year, finished second with a time of 11.02 seconds.

While Sears has posted faster times this season, including a 10.85 SB, she could not match Alfred’s early acceleration or sustained drive through the finish.

Fellow American Zoe Hobbs secured third place in 11.12 seconds, rounding out the podium.

Hobbs showed promise but lacked the sharpness needed to challenge Alfred on the day.

As Alfred continues to face fierce competition from both established stars and up-and-coming challengers, her Monaco win sends a clear message.
