Kadrian Goldson, Adrian Kerr, Bouwahgie Nkrumie and Odaine McPherson will seek the men’s 4×100 qualifying time.

The third team of Jonielle Smith, Serena Cole, Krystal Sloley and Jodean Williams will run in the womens’ sprint relay, that team has already qualified for the World Championships.

Brian Smith is team manager, Paul Francis head coach with Jowayne Johnson and Lamar Richards his assistants.
