MAY EXPECTATIONS – TRACK 2025

Grand Slam Track in Kingston, Jamaica was a success. Clearly Per Capita income and Lifestyle were not addressed before the event. Arrangements to give excess Bleacher seats to schools and charity organizations were not made.  Arrangements will be needed at all future GST venues. It will be easier to sell concession stand items than fill seats.

Fans will support Kingston being a Location each year for GST but not as the lead month each year. In men sprinting for Jamaica. Kishane Thompson, Oblique Seville, Akeem Blake, Nishion Ebanks, Rohan Watson and Bryan Levell, should figure prominent in competitions to develop a “Big 3” in men sprinting. At this juncture, Kishane Thompson, Oblique Seville, and Akeem Blake are odds on favorite to get the Top Three (3) spots and produce a 1,2,3 result at World Athletics Championships (WAC) in September. Athletes are reminded to check Qualifying standards. Oblique Seville still has to check in at the Inquiry Lounge. It appears that Oblique Seville is still working on his approach to winning the 100m.

Grand Slam Track (GST) will enhance the sport. Some Athletes will experience Increase in Income. Track and Field is the oldest Sport and is not going anywhere anytime soon. Every Sport has a Track or Field component. 

Nishion Ebanks ran an impressive 60m at the Central Hurdles Meet in a Race that Kishane Thompson won in a magnificent time of 6.48 seconds. However, it is still too early to project Nishion Ebanks true abilities. Nishion has a good chance of making the 4X100m Relay Team or be a replacement should there be an injury. Many questions regarding comparisons between Kishane, Akeem, and Oblique will be answered in this month – May 2025.

Bryan Levell received the memo and is back in action for the  2025 Season.  Regardless 60m and 100m are not events in which he is expected to do well. Fans will await his performances in the 200m. We believe that Bryan Levell might be able to run the 200m in about 19.72 seconds and the 100m in 9.94 seconds. Bryan Levell still needs to reconcile his mental approach to running the 200m event. When Bryan Levell is convinced that the 200m event is won in the first 100m he will be a much better competitor.

Julien Alfred is moving to the Women’s 400m District and considering a Double of 200m and  400m participation  this Season. Julien is quietly creating a Saint Lucia Track Team. As soon as a Relay team is assembled Saint Lucia will be ready.

Gabby Thomas ascended to the Women’s 200m Champion but appears to have lost options. Sydney McLaughlin – Levrone took her Crown as the 400mH Olympic champion. She could have issues with competition in the 400m Flat. There will be exciting times in women competition. Nickisha Pryce , Ackera Nugent, Danielle Williams, Marielady Paulino, Salwa Eid Naser, Jasmine Comacho Quinn, and Masai Russell will have something to say about the 2025 Season.

“Big 3 Women” roster is still under re-construction. Tia Clayton is energized and roaring to go in 2025. Her sights are set on WAC 2025 and she will run a 10.7X for the 100m. Fans eagerly anticipate Tia Clayton to challenge for a spot on the “Big 3” roster.  Even if she fails to get a sold spot in 2025, we believe she will before Olympics 2028. Fans anxiously await information regarding Health status of the current “Big 3” – Elaine Thompson – Herah, Shelley Ann Fraser – Pryce, and Shericka Jackson. WAC is preparing Dinner to be served in September. Mirror on the wall which Athlete will be the hungriest of them all.

Stars know that getting home for Dinner quickly is the key to securing a Gold Medal. The Tail Gate Party continues
