Nana Verna picked gold, while Imani Nimako finished with silver.
For the boy's U-10 100m, it was Asante Brown who led the field to pick up Gold.
"I already knew I was going to be first because I race my friends and always win," was what he told Joy Sports.
Meanwhile, the U20 girls' and boys' long jump finals also took place.
There were eight heats for the U16 boys and girls 100m, with the finals scheduled for Day 2.
