The versatile Roshawn Clarke has turned his attention to the 200m at Jamaica’s national Junior and Senior Championships, skipping his pet 400m hurdle event for which he is the World Under-20 record holder.
The 21-year-old of Swept Track Club was second in his 200m semi-final in 20.63 (-2.9) to Christopher Taylor’s 20.49. Clarke will enter the final with the second fastest time, and all eyes will be on him to see if he is the real deal over the 200m.
In the 400m hurdles, Clarke won bronze in 2022 at the World Under-20 Championship and was fourth at the senior World Championship in 2023. His 47.34 is the fastest-ever run by a Jamaican, but surprisingly, he has decided to forgo the event.
