@itsgabbyt So sorry you had to experience this Gabby! We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. Despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.
People should know this. Sydney loves a challenge. If sheโs doing long hurdles itโs because she wants to accomplish a specific time. Short hurdles. She wants to measure herself against the best 100 hurdlers or test herself over 100m flat. @GrandSlamTrack gives her the flexibility and opportunity to be challenged. Fans are the beneficiaries.
Melissa, Roshawn, and Ackera were supposed to cheer the kids on during their races but it was cancelled due to weather. Once things were clear these three just stood outside the gate and did an unplanned 90 minute autograph signing โ we appreciate these athletes so much!
What an impressive weekend from @annaahalll ๐
- 3rd in 400mH (54.43) and only her 1st 400mH since 2023!
- 2nd in 400m (51.68) and only her 2nd 400m since 2023!
Then she sticks arounds for the fans โค๏ธ
I know athletes being paid is the whole thing but I gotta say. The investment GST made into our media team also a refreshing change!!
-Paying us for our hard work
-Travel, hotel & meals
-Team merch
-Plus the photo credit on top
Thank you @GrandSlamTrack & @MJGold !!
People keep saying โSponsor himโ. Newsflash: He is sponsored! Thatโs the problem. For some athletes relying totally on a sponsor isnโt enough. You need to earn real money competing. Sponsorship should be only part of it.
A day in the life of Jacory Patterson, the fastest 400m runner in the world so far this year. He is unsponsored and also works at UPS.

One thing I want to do with @GrandSlamTrack is honor the legends who inspired the next! We started in Kingston with Asafa, Justin, and others. Here we have Gwen Torrence, @SanyaRichiRoss, @VCampbellBrown, and Valerie Brisco-Hooks. You will see legends honored at every slam.
