World Relays: Jamaica fourth in men’s 4x100m heat, will have to wait to qualify for World Champs

On the opening day of the 2024 World Athletics Relays held in Gaborone, Botswana, Jamaica’s powerhouse men’s 4x100m relay squad suffered an unexpected setback that sent them into a last-chance qualifier for a spot at the 2025 World Athletics Championships. The quartet of Rohan Watson, Odaine McPherson, Adrian Kerr, and Rasheed Foster clocked a 38.08-second finish to land in fourth place in their semi-final heat, missing out on the top-two automatic qualifying slots that secure an early advancement.
