Alicke Cranston of St Elizabeth Technical High (STETHS) and Tina Clayton of Edwin Allen High completed their respective sprint doubles at yesterday’s final day of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) Ministry of Sports/Supreme Ventures National Junior Championships at the national Stadium after winning the 200m titles.

Kingston College’s Vashaun Vascianna repeated his world lead 13.44 seconds (-2.3m/s) to win the Under-20 boys’ 110m hurdles as the selectors are now to meet to name teams to the NACAC Under-18 Chmpionships in Costa Rico in early July and the World Under-20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya, in mid-August.

Cranston, who had won the 100m on Thursday, lowered his personal best from 21.15 seconds and jumped one place to second in the Under-18 World list while his teammate Orlando Wint took second with 21.42 seconds and Calabar High’s Mark Manley was third in 21.47 seconds.

St Jago High’s Gregory Prince, who led the qualifying, delivered by winning the Under-20 boys’ 200m in a big new personal best 21.05 seconds (-0.4m/s), under the 21.36 seconds he ran on Friday.

Clarendon College’s Rajay Morris was second in 21.21 seconds and Jamaica College’s Zidane Brown was third in 21.24 seconds.

Both Cranston and Prince are under the qualifying time for the World Under-20, but Edwin Allen’s Bryan Levell, who opted to run against the seniors and qualified for the 100m final on Friday and who has a personal best of 20.60 seconds, is also eligible.

Clayton was hardly pushed in the Under-20 girls’ final as she won comfortably in 23.61 seconds (-1.7m/s) ahead of Rusea’s High’s Aalliyah Francis (23.78 seconds) with Vere Technical’s Annalee Robinson third in a personal best 23.91 seconds.

Despite running into a strong headwind, Vascianna repeated his time from the semi-final to cement his claim to a medal favourite.

Rahyme Christian of Clarendon College was second in 13.91 seconds followed by Neil-Matthew Sutherland (14.16 seconds).

St Jago High’s Andre Harris ran a personal best 13.70 seconds (0.0m/s) to win the Under-18 110m hurdles, dipping under his previous best of 13.87 seconds, beating St Elizabeth Technical’s 400m hurdles winner Shamer Blake (13.95 seconds) and Calabar’s Jevon Nelson (13.96 seconds).
