Sabrina Dockery, Jodean Williams run sub-11 in Texas

Jamaican sprinters Sabrina Dockery and Jodean Williams have etched their names in the record books, both clocking sub-11-second times in the 100m at the USATF Lone Star Grand Prix. The World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, held at Cushing Stadium in Texas on Saturday, saw Dockery deliver a stunning personal best to win the women's 100m race.

Dockery, a World Athletics Under-20 championships relay gold medalist, upset a strong field to cross the finish line in 10.92 seconds, aided by a wind reading of 1.6m/s. This performance shattered her previous personal best of 11.05 seconds, set earlier this year. Williams, a key member of Jamaica's gold medal-winning 4x100m relay team at the World Relays in March, secured third place with a time of 10.97 seconds, matching the time of second-place finisher Audrey Leduc of Canada.

With these impressive runs, Dockery and Williams become the latest additions to an elite group of Jamaican women who have dipped under the 11-second barrier this year. They join ten other compatriots, bringing the total to eleven Jamaican women who have achieved this significant milestone in 2026. Other notable Jamaican performances at the event included Niesha Burgher finishing seventh in 11.27 seconds and former World Athletics Under-20 sprint double champion Briana Williams placing eighth in 11.32 seconds. Additionally, Demisha Roswell won the women's 100m hurdles, Romaine Beckford won the men's high jump, and Navasky Anderson won the men's 800m.
