Final

Tezdzhan Naimova of Bulgaria was at least even at the start and proceeded to pull away from the field to win in an impressive in 11.28 into a 0.8 meter per second wind. Carrie Russell of Jamaica picked up quickly after 20 meters and by the halfway point looked like she would give Naimova a race. Practically unnoticed out in lane eight was Gabby Mayo of the U.S. and Southeast High in Raleigh, North Carolina, who, despite being the second fastest junior in the world, had the slowest semifinal time. Mayo got into contention by the halfway point, continued to drive to the finish and just edged Russell for second with both runners being credited with 11.42. Alexandria Anderson of the U.S. and Texas , the No. 1 ranked junior in the world, was out with the leaders but began to drift back by the halfway point and just lost out to Asha Philip of Great Britain, for fourth, 11.48 to 11.49.
