Sprint hurdlers Daniel Clarke of Kingston College and St Jago High’s Marquies Page stole the show with impressive performances on Sunday’s final day of the JAAA/Puma National Junior Championships.

Clarke broke the national junior record in the Under-20 boys 110m hurdles, while Page ran the second-fastest time ever by a Jamaican in the Under-18 category.

Clarke ran 12.96 seconds (0.7m/s) in the final, lowering his personal best to 13.06 set earlier this year. He bettered the previous national Under-20 record 12.99 set in 2018 by Damion Thomas, which, at the time, was the world Under-20 record. Clarke’s time is the second-fastest ever in the Under-20 age group.

A few minutes earlier, Page ran a massive personal best 13.03 (1.0m/s), lowering his previous best of 13.68 set earlier in June. Page’s effort is the fourth-best time ever at that level and second fastest by a Jamaican, only behind Jaheel Hyde.
