Jerome Blake breaks national championship meet record to win men's 200 title in Ottawa

Jerome Blake broke the Canadian track and field championship record running 19.95 seconds to win the men's 200-metre title on Sunday. The previous meet record was held by Brendon Rodney — Blake's teammate on Canada's Olympic champion 4x100 men's relay team — who ran 19.96 in 2016.
