Shericka Jackson wins 100m in Rabat

KINGSTON, Jamaica — World Championship medalist Shericka Jackson won her opening 100m race of the season, clocking 11.04 seconds (0.2m/s) at Sunday’s Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athletisme de Rabat.

The fourth stop on the 2025 Wanda Diamond League series was held at Complexe Sportif Prince Moulay Abdellah, Rabat in Morocco.

Jackson, who was contesting a 100m race for the first time since the Jamaican national championships last year, overcame a slow start to beat Liberia’s Maia McCoy who ran 11.08 seconds and American Jacious Sears- 11.11 seconds.

She was the only Jamaica winner at the event. Olympic Games shot put medalist Rajindra Campbell and women’s 400m intermediate hurdler Andrenette Knight were second in their respective events.

Campbell threw a season’s best 21.95m, joint second in the world, and was just edged by American Payton Otterdahl who threw a world leading 21.97m in the final round.

Knight also had a season’s best 53.90 seconds, while Rushell Clayton was fourth in 54.83 seconds, also her fastest time so far this season. World Champion Femke Bol of the Netherlands set a meet record 52.46 seconds, beating the 53.68 seconds set in 2011 by Bulgaria’s Vanya Stambolova.

Meanwhile, Romaine Beckford was fifth in the men’s high jump and Raymond Richards finished ninth, both clearing 2.21m as the top three men – Hamish Kerr of New Zealand, Marco Fassinotti of Italy and Yual Reath of Australia all cleared 2.25m.

Many time national champion Natoya Goule-Toppin was 10th in the women’s 800m running 1:59.92 seconds.
