New Era Dawns at Jamaica’s National Championships: Sprint Legends and Rising Stars Light Up Kingston
The 2025 JAAA/Puma National Championships in Kingston delivered high drama and record-breaking performances. Kishane Thompson stole the show with a stunning 9.75s in the men’s 100m final, equaling the National Stadium record and leading a deep field where four men dipped under 10 seconds. Oblique Seville overcame a hamstring scare to finish second in 9.83s, with Ackeem Blake third in 9.88s.
On the women’s side, Tina Clayton emerged as Jamaica’s new sprint queen, winning her first national title with a personal best 10.81s. She held off Shericka Jackson (10.88s) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (10.91s), while her twin sister Tia, who had run 10.86s in the semis, unfortunately did not finish the final due to injury.
In the junior category, Riquelme Reid and Sabrina Dockery took top honours in the Boys’ and Girls’ 100m (U20) races. The event highlighted Jamaica’s sprinting depth and marked a symbolic passing of the torch from legends to rising stars.
