Lloydricia Cameron provided a golden moment for Jamaica at Saturday’s Felix Sanchez Classic in the Dominican Republic, as the seasoned thrower dominated the women's shot put with a winning mark of 17.59m. The Jamaican was in a class of her own, finishing well ahead of the host nation's Rosa Angelica Santana, who managed 16.07m.

While Cameron brought the Caribbean flag to the top of the podium in the field, it was Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Naser who turned heads on the track with a jaw-dropping sprint double. The Olympic silver medallist reminded the world of her elite pedigree with a blistering 22.45s win in the 200m, but it was her 400m performance that left jaws on the floor. Crossing the line in 48.94s — a time rarely seen outside major championships — Naser sent a clear message that she’s back in medal-winning shape.

Jamaica’s Roneisha McGregor had to settle for fourth in both events. She clocked 23.59s in the 200m and 53.93s in the 400m, struggling to match the pace of the leaders but gaining valuable early-season race experience.

Another standout double came from the Dominican Republic’s hometown star, Alexander Ogando, who thrilled the local crowd with victories in both the 100m and 200m. He took the century in 10.10s and returned to win the 200m in 20.11s, holding off countryman Melbin Marcelino in both races. St Kitts and Nevis' Nadale Buntin was competitive in both sprints, tying for sixth in the 100m with 10.48s and clocking 20.92s for a respectable fifth in the half-lap event.

Guyana’s Noelex Holder also put in a solid performance, narrowly missing the podium in the 200m with a 20.86 clocking for fourth, just ahead of Buntin.

In the men’s 100m, Puerto Rico’s Diego González placed third in 10.34s, while St. Kitts’ Buntin again featured in the mix. Jamaica’s Jamel Miller, meanwhile, battled to eighth in the 200m in 21.35s, unable to find his rhythm in a fast field dominated by Ogando.

Over the hurdles, Jamaica’s Sanique Walker picked up a strong silver in the women’s 400m hurdles, clocking 56.57s behind Puerto Rico’s Grace Claxton. Turks and Caicos’ Yanique Haye-Smith also had a notable run, securing third in 57.33s, while further down the field, Micheiry Brito of the Dominican Republic and American Kaila Barber rounded out the places.

In the 100m hurdles, Puerto Rico’s Paola Vazquez stole the show with a wind-assisted 13.00s win, while the British Virgin Islands’ Deya Erickson took third.
