Usain Bolt? He owned this track. But long before he became the world’s fastest man, he was just a kid from Trelawny, donning the William Knibb Memorial colors, storming to victory, and rewriting high school history. No athlete from the school had won the Boys’ Class 1 200m since Bolt himself. But now? That might have just changed. A race. A tribute. A moment that felt familiar. Could this be the start of something special?
Lane 7. The same lane Usain Bolt once dominated. Sanjay Seymore knew what this race meant—not just for himself but for his late father, who never missed a meet. The gun fired, and he exploded down the track. 21.27 seconds later, he crossed the line, arms raised. His message was clear: “This one’s for Pops.” William Knibb had its first Class 1 200m champion since Bolt.
After Usain Bernard of Petersfield won the Class Two 200 m final, Sanjay Semore wins the Class One equivalent! One has the Legend’s first name, the other comes from his former high school, William Knibb. Love seeing rural schools get 9 points! #Champs2025
