KINGSTON, Jamaica – Shericka Jackson ran a well-timed season’s best 10.81 seconds (-0.3m/s) to win the women’s 100m title at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association national championships at the National Stadium on Friday.

Jackson made up for a sluggish start to catch the fast-starting defending champion Tina Clayton and beat her on the finish line to win her fourth national 100m title and first since 2024.

Clayton ran a season’s best 10.85 seconds for second while Jonelle Smith lowered her personal best to 10.94 seconds for third.
