Tina Clayton Wins 100m Final at Jamaica’s National Championships
Tina Clayton delivered on Friday night, winning the women’s 100m final at Jamaica’s National Championships, also known as the National Trials, with a time of 10.81 seconds, a new personal best.
The event was the final opportunity for Jamaica’s top sprinters to secure their places for the upcoming World Athletics Championships, set for September 13–21, 2025, in Tokyo.
The highly anticipated final featured a star-studded line up including sisters Tina and Tia Clayton, sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, and rising star Alana Reid.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce lined up in lane three, Tia Clayton in lane four, Tina Clayton in lane five, Shericka Jackson in lane six, and Alana Reid in lane seven.
The race began with Tia and Tina Clayton leading the pack, but midway through, Tia suffered an injury and was forced to slow down, leaving Tina to power ahead to victory.
Shericka Jackson finished a close second in 10.88 seconds, while Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, in what was her final 100m race at Jamaica’s National Stadium, came third with a time of 10.91 seconds.
The night was especially emotional for Fraser-Pryce, affectionately known as the “Pocket Rocket,” as she booked her place on the team for the World Championships in what could be one of her last international appearances.
