Jamaica's Kemba Nelson won the 100m and 200m at the Big 12 championships.

Robert Johnson Oregon head coach said, “We tried to build a complete and balanced team”, and they were led in the sprints, as Jamaica’s Kemba Nelson won the 100m and 200m at the PAC-12 championships. Nelson, who started things off in the 11.05 gets out of the blocks extremely well and just maintains reform and speed all the way through the tape, getting the Ducks on the board early. 

On championship Sunday, she came back in the 200m and duplicate Nelson really starting to become one of the premier sprinters of this Oregon ducks program and doing something that hasn’t seen a duck sprinter done in a long time, and that’s double up in the one 100m and the 200m. As the Oregon women start to separate from the rest of the field, Nelson Crossed the line first at 22 74. Nelson transferred last season from the University of Technology in Jamaica and attended Mount Alvernia High School in Montego Bay Prior to that to UTECH.

  • Montego Bay Ascendant: Swallowtail Tower Tops Out, Cementing City’s Role as Jamaica’s New Development Leader

    Montego Bay, long established as the Caribbean’s premier tourism capital, is now boldly stepping forward to claim its title as a leader in integrated, high-end residential development. The city’s skyline has been irreversibly changed with the Official Topping-Out Ceremony of the Swallowtail Tower, the first of the four luxury residential towers at The Pinnacle. Reaching its final height of 28 stories, the tower now stands as the tallest building in Jamaica. Notably, even during its construction, the structure and its installed systems demonstrated absolute resilience against the fury of Hurricane Melissa, standing tall and virtually unscathed against the Category 5 winds. This monumental achievement not only solidifies Montego Bay’s structural progress but also signals its intent to become a primary hub for luxury living and diversified economic activity, challenging Kingston’s traditional dominance in non-tourism-centric development.
