The Jamaican Championships, running from Thursday to Sunday, promise a series of electrifying showdowns. The 100m sprint will see a high-profile clash between Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson.
Both Fraser-Pryce and Jackson are also slated to compete in the 200m, adding further intrigue to the event. Season leader and NCAA runner-up Brianna Lyston, however, has opted to shut down her 2024 season early.

The women’s hurdles will be headlined by World champion Danielle Williams, with all favorites, led by Rushel Clayton, are down for the 400m hurdles.

Additional standout competitors include Shanieka Ricketts in the triple jump, and U20 world record holders Roshawn Clarke (400m hurdles) and Jaydon Hibbert (men’s triple jump), promising a weekend of top-tier athletics.
