National men’s sprinter Cejhae Greene will be the country’s lone representative at the year’s World Athletics Championships slated for August 19-27 in Budapest, Hungary.
Greene, although missing the qualifying mark of 10.00 seconds, made the cut as one of the top 56 ranked contenders at the July 31 cut-off date. The 27-year-old is currently ranked 52 in the men’s 100 meters with a score of 1219 points.
Greene clocked a wind assisted 10.09 seconds at the Miramar Invitational held in Florida in April after which he registered a time of 10.11 seconds in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2023.
Under the new World Athletics rules, a country is not eligible for a solidarity (wild card) position if they produce an outright qualifier for the games in question. A solidarity spot would allow a country to field one athlete who would not have previously qualified for the games.
