Jamaican Teenager Shatters Usain Bolt’s Long-Standing Record!
A new name has been etched into the record books! Jamaican sprinting prodigy, Nickecoy Bramwell, has dethroned the legendary Usain Bolt, claiming the Under-17 400m World Record at the recent Carifta Games in Grenada.
Bramwell Blazes to Victory:
The 16-year-old Jamaican clocked a blistering 47.26 seconds, surpassing Bolt’s record of 47.33 seconds set in 2002. This impressive feat comes even more remarkably considering Bramwell was battling injuries leading up to the race. He dominated the competition, leaving his competitors in the dust, with Kemron Mathlyn (47.96s) and Eagan Neely (48.16s) trailing behind in second and third place respectively.
More About the Record-Breaker:
Bramwell isn’t just a one-trick pony! This Calabar High School student boasts a scorching personal best of 46.75 seconds in the 400m, set earlier this year at a school event. He also possesses incredible versatility, showcasing his talent across different distances. On the same day he achieved his record-breaking 400m personal best, Bramwell clocked a new lifetime best of 10.94 seconds in the 100m! His dominance continued with a 21.45s personal best in the 200m just a month later.
This young athlete’s trophy cabinet is overflowing with victories this season. He secured gold medals in both the 100m and 400m at the Class 2 McKenley/Wint Invitational Meet finals, followed by a 400m win at the Youngster Goldsmith National Athletic Classic and the ISSA/Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championship.
The future looks bright for Nickecoy Bramwell. We’ll be watching closely to see what amazing feats he accomplishes next!
