Shericka Jackson runs world-leading 10.82 at Velocity Fest
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson stormed to a world-leading time of 10.82 seconds to win the 100m at the Velocity Fest 13 meet at the National Stadium in Kingston on Saturday.
Jackson, who started off her 100m campaign last year with 11.00 seconds, also recorded a meet record and erased American Aleia Hobb’s world-lead of 10.89 seconds, set at the LSU Alumni Gold 2023 hours earlier.
Meanwhile, in the men’s equivalent, Akeem Blake won final A, but tghere was a false start and the timing system malfunctioned. In addition to that, the officials took a decision not to rerun the race.
As such, no time was registered for the event.
