World champion Oblique Seville claimed the Jamaican 100m title with a commanding 9.82-second run, the fastest time globally this year and tying his third-best personal performance. Seville expressed relief at finally securing the national title, though he noted that some key competitors were absent, which may have influenced the race dynamics. He suggested that an even faster time is possible under different circumstances.
Seville's win was complemented by 19-year-old Gary Card, who, as a wildcard among senior athletes, delivered an impressive 9.93 seconds to finish second. This performance broke the Jamaican Under-20 record and placed him joint third on the world all-time U20 list. Card credited his training environment and said he is open to competing at either the World U20 Championships or the Commonwealth Games this season.
In the women's 100m, two-time world 200m champion Shericka Jackson, racing her first 100m of the season, won in 10.81 seconds—her fastest since 2023. She overtook silver medallist Tina Clayton, who equaled her season's best with a 10.85 finish. Jonielle Smith recorded a personal best of 10.94 seconds to take third, rounding out an MVP training group sweep of the podium.
Jackson noted her focus on enjoying competition during this 'off year,' reflecting a more relaxed approach to the season.
