COMMONWEALTH Games champions Kaliese Spencer, Kimberly Williams, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Rasheed Dwyer are among nearly one dozen Jamaican athletes who will take part in the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium today.

With the season winding down and just two more meets on the 14-meet schedule still to come, athletes involved in the Diamond Race will be gunning to maximise points as they chase the lucrative season-ending prize.

Spencer has already wrapped up a fourth Diamond in five seasons and will be seeking to put the finishing touches on one of her most successful seasons when she lines up in the 400m hurdles.

Spencer, who has won six of the seven Diamond League races run so far this season, leads with 18 points, well ahead of second-placed Kemi Adekoya, who has six points.

The Commonwealth Games champion and world leader will line up against the dangerous American Kori Carter with Scotland’s Commonwealth Games medallist Eilidh Childs also expected to feature.

Williams, who appears to be near her best-ever form, will have a tough fight on her hands in the triple jump, as she goes up against two outstanding Colombians, World Champion and world leader Caterine Ibarguen, who set a personal best 15.31m recently, and Yosiris Urrutia, who has been doing well so far this season with a personal best 14.58m.

Williams won in Glasgow with 14.59m just off her lifetime best 14.62m set in 2012.

Bailey-Cole will be tested by compatriot Nesta Carter, who is coming off a season’s best 9.96 seconds in Stockholm, Sweden, last Thursday.

American Michael Rodgers, who was favourite to win in Stockholm but false-started, will be in Birmingham today and will seek redress, while the veteran Kim Collins and Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre will also line up.

Dwyer and two other Jamaicans, Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Jason Livermore and Nickel Ashmeade will contest a 200m race that could be the best competition on the schedule.

World leader Alonso Edward of Panama and American Curtis Mitchell will add to the depth of the race.

Three Jamaicans will also line up in the women’s 100m which will be run as a semi-final and final. Commonwealth Games 100m medallist Kerron Stewart and relay gold medallist Schillonie Calvert, as well as Samantha Henry Robinson, will all seek to make it to the final.

Americans Tori Bowie, Allison Felix, Carmelita Jeter and Jeneba Tarmoh will also be in competition.

Former Olympic and World Championships silver medallist Shericka Williams, who is making a comeback to competition, will line up in the 400m against top Americans Joanna Atkins and Natasha Hastings and England’s Christine Uhuruogu.
