Iconic Jamaican sprinter Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce brought some festive cheer to her community of Waterhouse with her second Christmas Treat of the month on Boxing Day and her 16th overall.
Her first treat was held at the Windalco Sports Complex in Ewarton a week earlier.
On Boxing Day, children at the Fesco Field, children in the Waterhouse community were treated to a mixture of toys, rides, food and face painting to name a few.
Sponsors for the treat were Nike, Digicel Jamaica, Grace Foods, XLCR Jamaica and Toyota Jamaica Limited.
“The best Birthday gift I can ever receive is having a successful Treat each year,” said Fraser-Pryce who also celebrated her 37th birthday on Wednesday.
“Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you to our amazing sponsors and volunteers,” added the three-time Olympic and 10-time World Champion.
Fraser-Pryce only competed in five 100m races in 2023 due to a nagging knee injury.
Despite those concerns, she was still able to perform when it counted with 100m bronze at the World Championships in Budapest in August.
Her time (10.77) was a season’s best in her last race of the season.
