TWO Jamaicans lead their respective sections of the International Association of Athletics Federation’s (IAAF) Youth lists that were published for the first time this season.

Sprinter Odeen Skeen of Wolmer’s Boys’ heads the 100 and 200-metre lists, while Manchester High’s Chanice Porter leads the long jump for girls.

The lists posted on Monday on the IAAF website shows Skeen — the CARIFTA Under 17 double sprint champion — at the top of the rankings with times of 10.46 and 20.84 seconds.

Skeen was part of the Wolmer’s team which set a new high school record of 39.78 seconds at the Penn Relays Carnival in late April.

Skeen’s teammate Julian Forte, who was named the Penn Relays boys relay MVP for his role in two winning teams, is third on both lists with 10.49 and 21.04 seconds, respectively.

The Munro College duo of Delano Williams — who is incorrectly listed as Jamaican — and Adam Cummings are also ranked in the short sprints.

Williams, who represented the Turks and Caicos at the 2009 CARIFTA, is ranked seventh after running 10.60 seconds at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ Champs in March, while Cummings is ninth with 10.66 seconds.

Jazeel Murphy of Bridgeport High is sixth on the 200m list with a season best 21.19 seconds.

Kingston College’s Stephan Fennell and Wolmers’ Yannick Hart are sixth and eighth on the 110m hurdles list with 13.88 and 13.95 seconds, respectively.

Fennel, who crashed out of the event in the semi-finals at Champs, ran the aforementioned time at the CARIFTA Games, while Hart’s clocking was in the final at Champs.

Porter, who just turned 16 and set the Girls Champs Class 2 record in March, leads everyone under age 20 as she also tops the Juniors category.

Three Jamaicans are in the top six as St Elizabeth Technical’s World Youth Games fourth-placed finisher Rochelle Farquharson is fourth with 6.16m and Holmwood Technical’s Janieve Russell sixth with 6.07m.

Porter is also ranked fifth in the high jump with a season best 1.80m, the same height as Peter-Gay Reid of STETHS and Shanice Hall of Wolmer’s Girls’.

Meanwhile, Megan Simmonds of St Andrew High is ranked No 2 in the 100m hurdles after running 13.80 seconds at the CARIFTA Games while, Holmwood’s Russell is seventh with 13.94 set at Girls Champs.

Edwin Allen’s Saqukine Cameron is ranked No 3 in the 200m with 23.84, while Vere Technical’s Sherika Jackson is fifth with 23.94.

Herbert Morrison’s Seidatha Palmer’s 11.70 seconds run while winning the Class 2 silver medal at Girls Champs ranks her fourth in the 100m, while Holmwood’s Diana Johnson, the Class 3 champion at Champs, is fourth with 11.70 seconds.

In the 400m, Holmwood’s Chris Ann Gordon is in fourth place with a season best 53.62 seconds, while Vere’s Jackson is fifth with 53.71.

Chad Wright, the National Junior record-holder, has dropped from first to third place on the discus list, surpassed by Germany’s Michael Salzer (65.42m) and Lithuania’s Andrius Gudius (63.32m).

Wright won the Class One event at Champs and the Under-20 event at CARIFTA, where he set the NJR of 63.11 before setting a new meet record at the Penn Relays of 58.50.

IAAF World Youth and World Junior 100m champion Dexter Lee still leads the Junior men’s 100m section with a season best 10.32 seconds done at a meet in Guadeloupe on May 1.
