KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican high school athlete Jamelia Young of Clarendon College delivered a spectacular performance at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls Championships on Friday, capturing her second gold medal with a record-breaking discus throw. Overcoming physical discomfort in her throwing hand, Young launched the discus an impressive 48.40 meters to claim the Girls Class 2 title. This remarkable achievement comes just days after her shot put victory on Wednesday, demonstrating her exceptional versatility in throwing events. Young’s winning throw not only shattered the previous record of 47.04m set by Cedricka Williams in 2021 but also surpassed her own personal best of 46.89m established in February. The championship-winning throw occurred during the fourth round of competition, dramatically elevating Young from fifth position to claim the top spot on the podium. Shamanda Wilmot of Holmwood Technical, who had maintained the lead from the initial round, secured the silver medal with a throw of 14.39 meters, while Alyssa Forrester from Excelsior High captured bronze with a 14.22-meter effort. The event showcased the exceptional talent emerging from Jamaica’s high school athletic programs.
