Two-time Olympic medallist Shericka Jackson headlines the 2024 Jamaican Olympic Track and Field Trials at the National Stadium, in Kingston set from 27-30 June, with athletes out to secure spots for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Jamaican Athletics will announce the final team on Sunday 30 June, after picking their top three athletes who have hit the qualifying times from selected key events.

Jackson, a four-time world champion, is aiming for a double defence of her 100m and 200m national titles, which she first won in 2021.

She is the leading favourite to clinch both titles in Kingston. The 29-year-old begins her competition with the 100m heats on the first day, Thursday (27 June), which will also be only her second dash this season, after topping her event at the All-Comers Series that was also held at the National Stadium last month. She then lines up for her pet race, the 200m where she holds the second-fastest time ever starting Saturday 28 June.
