Olympic Games and World Championships medallist Shericka Jackson will run her first 100m of the season when she lines up at the Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athletisme de Rabat in Morocco, the fourth stop on the 2025 Wanda Diamond League series today.

Jackson, who has competed over the 60m, 200m, and 300m this season and was part of the Jamaican women’s 4x100m team that qualified for the World Championships later this year in Japan after winning the bronze medal at the World Athletics Relays earlier this month, is one of six Jamaicans who have been confirmed for the event.

Jackson, who has a bye for the 200m at the World Championships after winning the event in Budapest in 2023, will face a strong line-up that will include the American trio of world number three-ranked Cambrea Sturgis, Maia McCoy, and Celera Barnes, as well as New Zealand’s Zoe Hobbs.

Sturgis has a season’s best 10.98 seconds set last weekend at the Atlanta City Games, while Barnes has run 11.01 seconds, also in Atlanta.

Olympic Games finalist Rushell Clayton and World Championships finalist Andrenette Knight, who goes into the race with the best time run so far this season, will fly the Jamaican flag in the women’s 400m hurdles.

They will face a big test in Femke Bol of the Netherlands, as well as American Cassandra Tate and Portugal’s Fatoumata Binta Diallo.

Olympic Games bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell makes a quick turnaround after winning the men’s shot put event in Germany on Friday, with a season’s best 21.40m when he faces a quality field.

Americans Payton Otterdahl, Roger Steen, Adrian Piperi, and Jordan Geist have all gone over 21.00m already, as well as Tom Walsh of New Zealand, Leonardo Fabbri of Italy, and Nigeria’s Chukwuebuka Cornnell Enekwechi.

Natoya Goule will contest the women’s 800m against world leader Tsige Duguma of Ethiopia, former World Champion Halimah Nakaayi of Uganda, and South Africa’s Prudence Sekgodiso, who is ranked number seven in the world.

World Indoor medallist Raymond Richards, who is in a four-way tie for fifth best in the world, and Romaine Beckford are set to compete in the men’s high jump against New Zealand’s Hamish Kerr and American Shelby McEwen.
