Jamaica’s reigning 100 metres Olympic Games silver medallist Shericka Jackson, who has been making sub-11 seconds a habit, produced a dominant performance to win the 100 metres at the Racers’ Grand Prix this evening at the National Stadium.

Jackson sped to an impressive 10.78 seconds to finish ahead of the Bahamas’ Anthonique Strachan, who produced a season’s best of 10.99, while Jamaica’s Sashalee Forbes took third with 11.07.
