Shericka Jackson was pleased with her season debut finishing second in the 60m as coach Paul Francis expresses optimism.
World 200m champion Shericka Jackson made a solid start to her 2025 season despite finishing second in the 60m at the Queen’s Grace Jackson meet.
Jackson clocked a time of 7.18 seconds, narrowly missing out on the victory to Jodean Williams, who clocked 7.15 seconds.
Jackson’s training partner, Jonielle Smith, placed third with a time of 7.21 seconds, despite winning her heat earlier in the competition.
Jackson, who was aiming for her first competitive race of the season after a successful 2024, did not offer any comments following her race.
However, her coach at MVP, Paul Francis, expressed satisfaction with the performance, emphasizing that the result showed promise for the upcoming months.
“I am pleased with her performance in her first race of the season, as she came close to her personal best,” Francis said as per Jamaica’s Gleaner.
“She is healthy and we are looking forward to the remainder of the season.”
The 200m gold medalist at the World Athletics Championships 2023 seemed to be in great form, but was bested by Williams, who had an explosive start, pushing Jackson into second.
Despite the close margin, Francis remained positive, reinforcing Jackson’s readiness for a competitive year ahead.
The performance at the Queen’s Grace Jackson meet was Jackson’s first official run of the season, and though it wasn’t the top podium finish she might have hoped for, it was an encouraging sign of what’s to come.
According to her coach, the key now is focusing on refining her form, health, and consistency in training.
“We will be going back to the training ground on Monday and we will see what develops from there,” said Francis when asked about Jackson’s upcoming plans.
The MVP coach is hopeful that as the season progresses, Jackson will continue to get sharper and more consistent with each race.
In the men’s section, Tyquendo Tracy of Swept Track Club finished second in the men’s 60m with a time of 6.70 seconds, just behind the winner, Gary Card, who clocked 6.71 seconds.
Meanwhile, the standout performance of the meet came from Raymond Richards of UTech/MVP, who captured the men’s high jump gold with a career-best jump of 2.31m, completing a powerful display with only five strides.
