#Champs2023: KC’s Nkrumie smashes Champs 100m record
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Kingston College’s Bouwahjgie Nkrumie sounded the alarm after smashing the Class 1 Boys’ record in the semi-final round at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships on Wednesday.
Nkrumie stormed to a time of 10.08 seconds, erasing the previous record of 10.12 seconds set by Zharnel Hughes of Kingston College in 2014.
He could become the first schoolboy to dip under 10 seconds, having ran 10.02 seconds in the final of the event at the World Under-20 Championships in Cali, Colombia last year. He set a new junior record in the process.
