This fan is always positive and honest about Team Jamaica chances in Track and Field competition. Except for Shericka Jocko Jackson and the Male and Female Hurdlers, expectations are not high. Performances by event when compared to that of the USA Team are disappointing.

Looming disappointment came and left the Stadium. Let us move forward. MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH). Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple double of winning the 100M and 200M at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a disappointing 2023 season will be forever known. Newcomers to the Sport will aspire to win multiple doubles and not just a gold medal in an event. That mindset will add another level to Athletics.

Having said that let us look at the Jamaican National Trials – 2023. What was the Takeaway for astute Fans? Females are ready but need some fine-tuning. Male sprinters are glaringly not ready. Yohan Blake is ready to join the Sports Max Team. It is time for him to give Commentary and withdraw from competition.

Males who competed in the Jamaican 2023 National Trials should pull up a chair, watch a video of their performance, and while doing so get a video of the USA National Trials. Each Athlete should ask himself one question, am I good enough to compete? If you want an answer from this Fan, no you are not. Let us just look at the 100M and 200M. If your plan is to run 9.9X for the 100M and 20.2X for the 200M and write home to Mama announcing your victory in Budapest, I urge you to perish the thought. My recommendation is for the 100M think sub 9.8X and for the 200M think sub 19.7X.

Where it relates to the Relays there are four events and Jamaica has a slight edge in one, the Women 4 X 100M relay. Baton passing will be Key in the 4 X 100M relay. Whoever runs Legs 1 and 2 will be crucial to the result. My assumption is Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce will run the third Leg and Shericka Jocko Jackson will run the Anchor Leg.

On the Male side the following Athletes were invited and encouraged to bring a Training Partner: Yohan Blake, Akeem Blake, Akeem Bloomfield, Oblique Seville, Jaydon Hibbert, Jaheel Hyde, Julian FORTE, and Andrew Hudson. Base on the results the Training partners did not do a good Job.

Fans are calling for an end to the drought of victories and a return to performances consistent with Heritage. Fans anticipate Jamaica’s male Track and Field athletes to resume dominance at Olympics 2024. From this perspective, World Championships 2023 will not be the venue for Signature Performances. We know things will get better but it is time to get to work. Fans will patiently wait and provide pens for Signature performances at Olympics 2024.

There are prospects for Jamaica’s male Track and Field. It is time for all to Big Up. Usain is not the only one who can run. Did Usain take the best track shoes home? Thank goodness, he did not take the women shoes. Usain Bolt might have been an inspiration or the equivalent of an insurance policy but Fans are looking for a few good men to inspire and motivate others.

There were great expectations that success at Common Wealth Games 2018 would carry forward to Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Unfortunately, Fans did not realize that expectation. At Commonwealth Games 2018, the team placed 11^TH out of 43 with 27 Medals in total – 7 Gold, 9 Silver, and 11 Bronze. Not too shabby for an Island Nation. Fans anticipated improvement in Field events such as Long Jump, Triple Jump Javelin, Discus, Shot Put, Hammer throw, and High Jump. Those gains did not materialize in Tokyo 2021 but Fans anticipate they are forthcoming.

Hurdling has caught on. Jamaica’s Male Hurdlers are demonstrating what Fans expected in this Event. Jaheel Hyde has some work to do in the Men’s 400 meters hurdles but Fans think he is on the cusp of doing something special. Track and Field is hard work and Perseverance.

Is it possible that Rasheed Broadbell, Hansle Parchment, and Ronald Levy could produce a 123 in the 110M hurdles, Olympics 2024? Fans think it is possible. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.

Be there or be square. Uniforms provided after a successful Drug Test. Hope to see you there.

The following Athletes were invited and encouraged to bring a Training Partner: Yohan Blake, Akeem Blake, Akeem Bloomfield, Oblique Seville, Jaydon Hibbert, Jaheel Hyde, Julian FORTE, and Andrew Hudson. If your name is not in the list then our scouts made a faux pas. Regardless please step forward. Many will represent Country in a Sport that undoubtedly is the original and the hardest.

Fans are calling for an end to the drought of victories and a return to performances consistent with Heritage. Fans anticipate Jamaica’s male Track and Field athletes to resume dominance at World Championship 2023 and Olympics 2024. We expect Signature Performances. We know things will get better but it is time to get to work. Fans will patiently wait and provide pens for Signature performances.

Hurdling has caught on. Jamaica’s Male Hurdlers are demonstrating what Fans expected in this Event. Hansle Parchment won Gold and Ronald Levy won Bronze in the 110M hurdles Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Jaheel Hyde has some work to do in the Men’s 400 meters hurdles but Fans think he is on the cusp of doing something special. Track and Field is hard work and Perseverance.

Omar McLeod still impress despite not making the Team for recent International campaigns. His performances boosted interest in the 110M Hurdles event. The 110M Hurdles is an event in which Jamaican Athletes should excel. It is time to get ready for World Athletic Championships – 2023. I am 100 percent behind Hurdlers. Is it possible that Omar McLeod, Hansle Parchment, and Ronald Levy could produce a 123 in the 110M hurdles? Fans think it is possible. However, there is a new person on the Team – Rasheed Broadbell. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.
