After a break in home competitions for local professional athletes, due to the high school CHAMPS 2022 and CARIFTA Games 2022 junior meetings on back-to-back weekends, several of the nation’s leading elites will return to competition as they continue to prepare for the national championships and featured events beyond later this summer.

Leading the high-profile athletes down to compete this weekend is two-time Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who will open her 2022 season at the meeting being staged at the National Stadium here in Kingston.
Fraser-Pryce, who is also scheduled to race in the 100m against American Sha’Carri Richardson in Nairobi, Kenya, next month, will look to shake off some of the early season training rust before traveling overseas when she competes in the women’s 200m.
The five-time world champion will take on former training partner Shericka Jackson, the Olympic 100m bronze medalist in Tokyo last summer, as well as World Indoor Championships 400m bronze medalist Stephenie-Ann McPherson.
Bahamian Anthonique Strachan, who has a 10.99 secs PB this season, plus Jamaicans Natasha Morrison, Roneisha McGregor and Shashalee Forbes, are also listed to compete in the women’s 200m.
