All Eyes on Quincy Wilson and Jamaica’s Rising Stars at East Coast International Showcase

East Coast International Showcase
Shanoya Douglas, ready for the East Coast International Showcase: “It’s a great experience going against some of the fastest in America and pushing my body to the limit to see how fast I can run."

Quincy Wilson, the boys’ and girls’ 100m, will draw the most attention at Saturday’s (4 May) East Coast International Showcase. The Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex track in Landover, Maryland, will for the second year straight witness rising star sprinter Quincy Wilson, who is having the season of his life.

The 16-year-old Wilson, according to World and Olympic Games 100m gold medalist Justin Gatlin, is good enough to be a member of the USA’s Paris Olympic Games 4x400m team.

The Bullis School athlete ran a stunning 44.37 leg at Penn Relays last week, a performance which gave him the relay athlete of the meet. 

Wilson recently broke an indoor national record at 400 meters at New Balance Nationals Indoor, clocking the first sub-46 performance for the distance since 2004, and earned a national title in 45.76 seconds. He followed weeks later with the No. 8 time in high school history outdoors for the 400-meter distance, punching down on an effort of 45.19 seconds at the Florida Relays. 

Jayden Horton-Mims, who ran 46.85 to win his first national championship and post the second-fastest time back in March, is who many are hoping will provide some competition for Wilson. ALSO READ: “I’m excited and can’t wait for the rest of the season.”Jaydon Hibbert Says after Win in Bermuda

High-Caliber Competition Set to Thrill at East Coast International Showcase

Meanwhile, the girls’ 100m will be hot with Sabrina Dockery of Lacovia High, who was second at Champs behind Theianna-Lee Terrelonge, but shocked many with a table-turning victory at Carifta Games, running a personal best 11.26, will line up in heat one. 
Elise Cooper, the Nike Indoor 200m champion & USA’s U20 Pan Am 200m Silver medalist, will be very hot. She will run in heat one with Dockery.



However, the highly anticipated heat 2 will see Champs Class 1 sprint double champion Aliah Baker of Hydel against Class 2 200/400m double winner Muschett High’s Shanoya Douglas, stepping down to set up an interesting clash. Shemonique Hazle, also of Hydel, should add to the heat.

Aliah Baker, who is listed for the girls’ sprints, is glad to be in Maryland for such a high-caliber event. “This is a great opportunity to be competing with international athletes from all over because the only time most Jamaicans will get this opportunity like this is when they make the national team. So, this meet is a great opportunity for us to travel outside of Jamaica and get great competition.”

Shanoya Douglas of Muschett High School, one of Jamaica’s rising stars, is eager to use the East Coast International Showcase Meet to help her push for World U20 later this year. “It’s a great experience going against some of the fastest in America and pushing my body to the limit to see how fast I can run and how my training is preparing me for World U20. It’s an honor to be here, considered one of the best athletes to come here to showcase my talent.”

The boys’ 100m will have Excelsior High’s Champs winner Damor Miller, who sees this opportunity as “a nice experience competing with the rest of the teams.”
 Miller will be challenged by Muschett High’s Johan-Ramaldo Smythe, his junior but is having the season of his life. American Caine Stanley is expected to add to the showdown. 

Jake Odey-Jordan, the 2024 New Balance Indoor 200M National Champion and the Sophomore Indoor National Record Holder, will also be in the strong boys’ 100m line-up


.

The top sprinters from the heat will return for a final later in the day. 



Several other Jamaican athletes are down to compete at the meet, including Kemarrio Bygrave of Jamaica College (JC), who will be running the 800m and 4x400m, is already cherishing the moment: “Getting these opportunities to compete internationally and to show our talent is just a great feeling, to come and not just represent yourself but your school and country.”

Chairo Ogbebor, the 2024 New Balance Indoor Long Jump National Champion and meet record holder 7.49M, is also down to compete.


Meanwhile, organizer Sanjay Ayre, who attended high school in Jamaica and the USA before going on to represent Jamaica at three Olympic Games, said putting on a meet with Jamaica against USA high school stars in individual events is always something he dreamt about doing.

“I thought to myself, would it be a cool idea to merge the two countries I love dearly to go into a head-to-head competition for high schoolers. I had many dreams as a Howard County resident to one day have a big track and field meeting here. We are happy to partner with Howard County Community College to host our athletes. We have 150 international athletes that are here in town this weekend… 120 from Jamaica. We also have athletes from Haiti, Canada, the Cayman Islands, and Belize.”

Juliet Campbell, Puma Sports Marketing Manager for Running and a partner with Ayre at 2Eagle Sports and Entertainment said it was an easy choice for Puma when they first came on board to support the event. “Puma is very passionate about helping young athletes to develop, especially the young athletes from the Caribbean. It’s coming up for renegotiation, and we are looking forward to continuing this relationship with Puma; it’s something near and dear to my heart.”

From Leading Jump to Sudden Exit: Jaydon Hibbert's Dramatic Day at Budapest 23
Jaydon Hibbert

Jamaica’s Triple Jump sensation, Jaydon Hibbert, left no room for disappointment at Sunday’s Flora Duffy Stadium in Bermuda when he clinched the men’s triple jump event on his first attempt, soaring an impressive 17.33m (+4.3m/s) using an eight-step run-up.

The world U20 record-holder also jumped 17.01 (+3.4) in the third round. After competing for the first time since the Budapest World Championships in 2023, Hibbert decided to forgo the fourth and fifth rounds.

He won ahead of Bermuda’s Jah-Nhai Perinchief (17.31m) and compatriot Jordan Scott, who placed third at 17.05m.

Hibbert reflected on his strategy, “I wanted to ease back into the jumps, so I did eight steps to open today to give my body the muscle memory it deserves. I’ve been praying for this PR today; my last eight-step jump was 16.7 indoors last year. Now I’m excited and can’t wait for the rest of the season.”

Hibbert will be back in action on May 11 at the highly anticipated Jamaica Invitational and June 1 at the Racers Grand Prix.

Kingston College Secures Three-Peat Victory at Penn Relays

After plenty of chaos in the Boys Championships of America’s 4×400 at the 128th running of the Penn Relays and the events leading up to it, Kingston College completed a three-peat in 3:11.86, holding off Excelsior’s effort of 3:12.94 and the American Bullis School’s quartermile prodigy Quincy Wilson, who split 44.69 to anchor their team in 3:13.10 (a few hours removed from qualifying his Maryland high school with an unprecedented 44.37 split).

Although a few seconds off their Champs clinching time of 3:07.65, the quartet of Antonio Forbes, Amal Glasgow, Roshawn Lee, and Marcinho Rose helped KC avenge their earlier narrow loss to Excelsior in the Boys Championship of America 4×100, coming in second with a time of 40.53 to Excelsior’s 40.45, securing their fourth-ever title in the event.

Surviving a scary fall on the second to third leg, which clipped Bullis’ chances to win and be the first U.S. high school team to win the event since Long Beach Poly bested a Yohan Blake-led St. Jago in 2007.

“We put God first, and when you put God first everything comes into place,” exclaimed a grateful Amal Glasgow.

Noah Lyles sent a message Sunday afternoon in Bermuda, clocking a time of 9.96 (+3.0 m/s) in the 100m to win the USATF Bermuda Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meeting, which is part of the American Track League.

As the reigning world champion in the 100m, Lyles secured victory in the Bermuda Grand Prix 100m, joining the ranks of few professional sprinters to break the 10-second barrier in any conditions this season. His performance sets the stage for what promises to be an Olympic-sized summer.

Noah Lyles Reflecting on his Bermuda Grand Prix men’s 100m race

“All together, I think it was a pretty well-put-together race,” Lyles told NBC.

Lyles had a solid start, gradually pulling ahead of the field and solidifying his lead around the 70m mark. “I had a pretty average start, my acceleration kicked in,” he remarked. “I felt like it was brand new territory running past the last 40m, you know, running so many 60s,” he added, referencing his indoor schedule for 2024.

Canadian Aaron Brown finished second with a time of 10.09, while American Pjai Austin closely followed in third with 10.10.

Despite improving upon his season opener of 10.01 on April 13th during a meet at the University of Florida, Lyles currently ranks third in the world for the 100m under any conditions, behind American high school phenom Christian Miller’s NJR of 9.93 and Auburn University student from Nigeria, Favour Ashe, with 9.99.

Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Lyles confessed, “I’m excited to finally be getting there, but it’s a lot to clean up.”

Strong winds and creditable performances highlight USATF Bermuda Grand Prix

Bermuda Grand Prix Ready for Budapest 23 ... Jaydon Hibbert of Jamaica is the winner of the men's triple jump at the Cali22 World Athletics U20 Championships. He won with a championship record of 17.27m

DEVONSHIRE, Bermuda – The USATF Bermuda Grand Prix on Sunday, 28 April 2024, witnessed a few established and rising stars kick off their Paris Olympic campaigns with morale-boosting performances in breezy conditions at the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium. 

Multiple world champion Noah Lyles led the way, producing a commanding run to burst the tape at 9.96 seconds (+3.0m/s) to bring the curtains down in the men’s 100m. Lyles took his time to separate from the field but gradually asserted his dominance midway through the race. Canada’s Aaron Brown (10.09) finished second, just ahead of American Pjai Austin at 10.10.

American Tamari Davis, one of the five women to dip below 11 seconds this season, dispatched the field with consummate ease in the women’s 100m. Davis, a 4x100m sprint relay gold medallist at last year’s Budapest World Championships, won the event by daylight in 11.04 seconds (+2.2 m/s). It was a photo finish to determine second through fourth, with the American Kortnei Johnson (11.27) edging the Jamaican pair Alana Reid (11.29) and Kemba Nelson (11.30).

Earlier in the day, Jamaica’s wunderkind Jaydon Hibbert, using an eight-step run-up, bounded to a wind-assisted 17.33m (+4.3 m/s) on his first attempt in the men’s triple jump. The mark was enough to win the competition. Hibbert, competing for the first time since his injury at the Budapest World Championships, decided to forego the second, fourth, and fifth rounds to give his body sufficient time to rest.

Jamaica’s Shiann Salmon, competing in her first 400m hurdles race this season, found another gear after clearing the 10th and final hurdle to power away from American Cassandra Tate to win in 56.59 seconds. Tate registered 57.04 to claim second. 

Jamaica’s 4x400m relay specialist, Stacey-Ann Williams, produced a commanding run to win the women’s 400m in 51.71 seconds. Kirani James had a similarly wide margin of victory in the men’s equivalent. James registered 46 seconds flat, with his nearest competitor, Alonzo Russell of the Bahamas, more than a second behind in 47.05. 

Two-time Commonwealth Games champion Jereem Richards of Trinidad and Tobago prevailed in a fiercely contested men’s 200m race with American Matthew Boling. A massive tailwind of 4.9 m/s pushed both Richards (20.39) and Boling (20.42).

The talented Abby Steiner appeared cautious in her first 200m of the season, winning in 22.71 seconds (+3.0 m/s). Steiner, who missed out on making the American team to last year’s world championships, seems on a mission of redemption.     

Elsewhere, American Monae’ Nichols cut the sand at 6.91m (+4.0 m/s) to win the women’s long jump. Jamaica’s Chanice Porter claimed second with 6.62m (3.9 m/s).
