The Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) has named a strong 65-member team to the World Athletics Championships slated for August 19-27 in Budapest, Hungary.
The squad will be led by many-time 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and reigning 200m champion Shericka Jackson in the 33-woman team, while Hansle Parchment and Rasheed Broadbell will lead the men’s 32-member team.
Back-to-back Olympic Games sprint double gold medallist Elaine Thompson Herah has been named to the women’s 4x100m relay pool, but there is no place for Rusheen McDonald, the world’s number three-ranked quarter-miler, who contested the heats of the 400m and but withdrew from competition in the second round.
