Can’t wait to see their uniforms! Jamaicans entered at Sacramento
The homeland of Usain Bolt is sending 23 athletes to Sacramento worlds, according to this report. With their traditional yellow-and-green colors, they could have the coolest unis at the meet. The story says: “The athletes, eight of whom reside overseas, will compete in the sprints, field events, and the marathon, according to the Jamaica Masters Athletics Association. As the athletes tune up for the championships by participating in various local and international meets, 60-year-old Cleston Morgan showed the way when he placed third in the 100 metres at the recent Penn Relays clocking 13.13 seconds (-3m/s) in the Over-60 category.”

Good to have Jamaica well represented at Sacramento.
In terms of Cleston Morgan, he did indeed finish third at the Penn Relays in the M60+ 100. The redoubtable Charles Allie finished first in 12.60, while Mr. Morgan was timed in 13.14.
They were not running into a big wind, however (the entry above says that the wind was -3 meters per second). Rather, the official result shows a wind of -0.1 meter per second.
