Vashti Cunningham, a former world indoor champion, triumphed in the women's high jump through a leap of 1.92m.

Fellow American Rachel Glenn followed with 1.84m, which proved just enough to beat Mexico's Ximena Esquivel who cleared 1.81m.

Laulauga Tausaga-Collins struck gold in the women's discus thanks to a distance of 63.18m, which bettered Cuba's Denia Caballero on 61.86m and fellow American Rachel Dincoff on 61.56m.
