Jamaicans shred the track at the national championships in Kingston

Four under 10 seconds in the men’s 100 metre dash, led by Olympic silver medallist Kishane Thompson in 9.75 — the 2025 world-leading time.

He delivered the performance Friday night, clocking the personal best on Day 2 of the JAAA National Senior and Junior Athletics Championships at Kingston’s National Stadium.

Thompson’s previous best was 9.77 from 2024. He also tied the venue record set by Yohan Blake in 2012. This performance puts Thompson in very fast company. The run was also the fastest 100m sprint recorded since 2015, moving Thompson to sixth on the all-time world rankings.

Oblique Seville finished second in a time of 9.83 seconds. Ackeem Blake ran to a new personal best of 9.88 seconds to round out the podium.
Ryiem Forde was the fourth of eight to run sub-10, going 9.98.
