A supremely confident Shericka Jackson regained the national women's 100 metres title while hot favourite Oblique Seville won his first men's crown at the National Stadium on Friday night, day two of the 2026 JAAA/Puma Jamaica National Senior and Junior Championships.

Jackson, the 2024 winner who was competing in the event for the first time this season, pegged back defending champion Tina Clayton to clock 10.81 seconds and become the 12th Jamaican woman this season to go sub-11 seconds.

Clayton was second in 10.85 while Jonielle Smith ended third in a personal best 10.94.
