Janeek Brown, Jonielle Smith look to reignite careers with MVP

Talented Jamaican sprint hurdler Janeek Brown is now training with MVP Track Club after recently returning to the island.

Brown, the former national record holder in the 100m hurdles and now the third-fastest Jamaican in history, had her first session at the club’s University of Technology base on Monday, her first steps towards reigniting her career.

The 24-year-old has not competed in the 100m hurdles since 2019 and has only featured in 14 competitive races over the past two years.

However, she is among several new faces at MVP, where sprinter Jonielle Smith, the 2019 World Championships relay gold-medal winner and starlets Tina and Tia Clayton, have made their home in recent weeks.

Brown’s move to MVP comes after a bitter row with her former partner, American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, which derailed her career and saw both athletes taking to social media and other platforms to accuse each other of mental and physical abuse.

The Jamaican will, however, look to get back on track and returns to the scene with 12.40-seconds pedigree, which was the time she clocked to win the NCAA Championships title in 2019 while competing for the University of Arkansas.

Brown later finished seventh in the final at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar.
