Two of Jamaica’s top young sprint talents are set to make their Racers Grand Prix debut on Saturday, June 7, at the National Stadium, with high expectations surrounding their performances.

Wolmer’s Boys’ Gary Card and Lacovia High’s Sabrina Dockery—this year’s 100m champions at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls’ Championships, will face their biggest senior-level challenge yet.

Card, who turns 18 just three days before the meet, is poised to lead the next generation of Jamaican sprinting talent. Despite an injury at Champs that dashed his hopes of breaking the 9.99-second barrier, he still secured gold and now steps confidently into senior competition.

He’s set to face a high-caliber field, including Olympic 100m silver medalist Kishane Thompson, Racers Track Club standout Oblique Seville, and South Africa’s Bayanda Walaza, who recently clocked a blazing 9.94 seconds, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.

Joining the conversation is Bouwahjgie Nkrumie, another of Jamaica’s emerging stars. While he won't face Card and Walaza directly in the same heat, his debut at the Racers Grand Prix will be closely watched by fans and scouts alike.

On the women’s side, Dockery will make her senior debut in the flat 100m against a stacked field featuring Ashanti Moore, Serena Cole, and Nigerian sprint star Tobi Amusan, the world record holder in the 100m hurdles. Amusan is aiming for her first sub-11-second finish as she continues her transition into flat sprinting.

Dockery dominated her age group this season, setting a personal best and world U20 leading time of 11.08 seconds. However, her clash with such seasoned seniors now marks the biggest test of her young career.

British sprinter Zharnel Hughes, a Racers Track Club athlete, will thrill sprint fans in the men’s 200m, adding even more star power to an already stacked 100m lineup. His presence boosts the prestige of a meet that continues to attract world-class talent.

Now in its seventh staging, the Racers Grand Prix remains a premier platform for showcasing Jamaica’s top athletes while introducing the next generation to the global track and field stage.
