Tia Clayton, who pulled up in the women’s 100m final at the Jamaica Trials, Olympic triple jump silver medallist Shanieka Ricketts, and Christopher Taylor, set to return to national duty for the first time in over two years, headline a 55-member Jamaican squad named for the 2025 NACAC Senior Championships in Freeport, Bahamas, scheduled for August 15–17.
Clayton, one of Jamaica’s emerging sprint talents, has been named for the women’s 100m and also forms part of the 4x100m relay pool. Despite not finishing her race at the National Championships, her selection provides another opportunity to meet the qualifying standard for the Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships.
Ricketts, who secured silver at the Tokyo Olympics and has remained a consistent performer on the international circuit, will contest the women’s triple jump—an event she has dominated at the regional level.
Taylor, returning from a two-year absence, is listed for the men’s 200m. Though best known for his achievements in the 400m, he has opted to focus on the shorter sprint as he works toward regaining fitness and achieving the Olympic qualifying mark of 20.16.
