The future of Jamaica’s male sprinting will be on show in Saturday’s Racers Grand Prix, with World Championships finalist Oblique Seville expected to lead the local contingent.

Seville, who has a season’s best 9.95 seconds in the 100m, and Ackeem Blake, who ran a personal best 9.89 in Los Angeles last weekend, have been impressive so far.

Former world champion Christian Coleman of the United States, his compatriot Kendal Williams, Canadian Jerome Blake, and Ian Kerr of The Bahamas are the overseas-based athletes seeking to upstage the Jamaicans in front of what is expected to be a fair-sized crowd at the National Stadium.

Competition for places on the Jamaica team to the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, this summer is expected to be fierce. Seville and Blake are expected to lead the 100m charge.

There will be a lot of interest surrounding the fitness of Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association Boys’ Athletics Championships Class 1 gold medallist Bouwahjgie Nkrumie, who ran 9.99 seconds in April, but was injured at the Carifta Games a week later.
