Jackson ready for 200m at JII meet

World and Olympic 400 metres bronze medallist Shericka Jackson has opted to run the 200 metres at Saturday's Jamaica International Invitational meet at the National Stadium but the women's 400 meters still promises to be a treat.

Commonwealth Games champion Stephanie-Ann McPherson will be among the Jamaicans leading the way in the one lap event which will feature four Olympic finalists. American Natasha Hastings who was 5th in the Rio Olympics final, is also in Saturday’s line-up.

Americans Ashley Spencer and Phyllis Francis as well as Jamaicans Novlene Williams-Mills and Christine Day will also feature in the event. Live coverage of the meet can be seen on TVJ and one spot media.com as well as live commentary on Hitz 92 FM.
