Habiba Harris of Jamaica made a resounding statement on the final day of the 51st Carifta Games, which saw Jamaica sweeping the sprint hurdles, at the Kirani James Athletics Stadium in St. George’s, Grenada. Harris left the crowd in awe as she blazed through the hurdles with precision and speed, crossing the finish line in a scintillating time of 12.93 seconds.
