10x NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!
Shericka Jackson 🇯🇲 opened up her 100m campaign at the Jamaican Championships in Kingston, winning the national title in 10.81s (-0.3)!
Her 10th Jamaican title, ranging from 100m to 400m.
Tina Clayton was 2nd in 10.85s, followed by Jonielle Smith in 10.94s for an MVP podium sweep.
Track & field might be an individual sport, but moments like this remind us how much team spirit matters!
Look at Shericka Jackson, Tina Clayton and Nishion Ebanks hugging Gary Card after his PB, first sub-10 and new Jamaican U20 record (9.93) 🇯🇲

HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
RIP John West — he passed away recently from natural causes.
John West was an autistic adult who had been abused and neglected by a previous caretaker. Des (@/waxesbydes_) found him in poor conditions, became his legal guardian, and took him in. Under her care, his health and life improved significantly. He gained independence, worked, attended college, and enjoyed family time with Des and her daughter Eliana. He had autism plus other serious underlying health issues.
"I don't believe in paying athletes. And I come from a small country. I come from a sport that doesn't necessarily pay athletes very well.
And I still don't believe we should be paying athletes at the Olympic Games."
- IOC President, Kirsty Coventry
