Major changes have been made to Jamaica’s track and field 2019 calendar.

Jamaica Senior and Junior Trials along with Racers Grand Prix will have new dates in June.

The Senior Trials was scheduled for July 25-28 while the juniors were scheduled to have their trials on June 15 and 16. Both events will now be staged in one, June 27-30.

Racers Grand Prix, a NACAC Area Permit meeting, originally scheduled for June 22, will now be held on June 8, 2019.

These changes will affect Prep School Champs set for June 6-8 and possibly INSPORTS Basic School Champs is June 5-7, also listed for the National Stadium.

The Pre-Fontaine Classics, a Diamond League meeting, is the same weekend as Jamaica Trials, June 28-29.
