ST CATHERINE, Jamaica—A new generation of Jamaican sprinting talent emerged in spectacular fashion at the COCAA Western Championships held at GC Foster College this Saturday. The spotlight shone brightest on William Knibb Memorial’s Sanjay Seymore, who delivered a breathtaking performance in the Class 1 boys’ 100m semi-finals. Seymore blazed across the finish line with a world under-20 leading time of 10.26 seconds, establishing a new personal best despite facing a 1.4 m/s headwind. This remarkable achievement shattered his previous record of 10.49 seconds, signaling his arrival as a serious contender on the global junior athletics stage. The intense competition saw Holland High’s Johan-Ramaldo Smythe claiming second position with an impressive 10.32 seconds, while Calabar High’s Jamal Stephenson—fresh from his Corporate Area title victory just yesterday—secured third with 10.38 seconds. The finals lineup further solidified with Green Island High’s Oshane Jervis (10.78 seconds) and Herbert Morrison Technical’s Coby Watson (10.83 seconds) earning their spots in the evening’s championship race. The women’s competition equally dazzled as Holland High’s Shanoya Douglas, a World Athletics Under-20 Championships finalist, dominated the Girls Class One 100m with a wind-assisted 11.99 seconds (3.8 m/s). Douglas, who achieved the Class 2 double victory last year, demonstrated exceptional form by accelerating quickly before comfortably maintaining her lead through the finish. She will be joined in the finals by Mt Alvernia High’s Sharla Bell (12.07 seconds), St Elizabeth Technical’s Rihanna Johnson, and Anchovy High’s Tianna Nolan, setting the stage for an electrifying conclusion to the championship events.
