Melissa, Roshawn, and Ackera were supposed to cheer the kids on during their races but it was cancelled due to weather. Once things were clear these three just stood outside the gate and did an unplanned 90 minute autograph signing — we appreciate these athletes so much!

Grand Slam Track is actually dispelling the narrative that athletes have to be in particular lanes to win races.

Track photographers been doing this for the love of the sport. They also need to be rewarded for capturing and telling the story of our sport.
I know athletes being paid is the whole thing but I gotta say. The investment GST made into our media team also a refreshing change!!
-Paying us for our hard work
-Travel, hotel & meals
-Team merch
-Plus the photo credit on top
Thank you @GrandSlamTrack & @MJGold !!

People keep saying “Sponsor him”. Newsflash: He is sponsored! That’s the problem. For some athletes relying totally on a sponsor isn’t enough. You need to earn real money competing. Sponsorship should be only part of it.
A day in the life of Jacory Patterson, the fastest 400m runner in the world so far this year. He is unsponsored and also works at UPS.

One thing I want to do with @GrandSlamTrack is honor the legends who inspired the next! We started in Kingston with Asafa, Justin, and others. Here we have Gwen Torrence, @SanyaRichiRoss, @VCampbellBrown, and Valerie Brisco-Hooks. You will see legends honored at every slam.

🗣️ “When I was sold this dream of racing in front of an awesome crowd and also racing against the best in the world, that’s what we’re doing.”
Josh Kerr was the first male athlete to sign with @grandslamtrack in June 2024 and has fully bought into @MJGold's vision and the tition among the best of the best. He underperformed at the inaugural stop in Kingston but stormed back to win the 1500m, claim enough points and a 1:45.01 personal best in the 800m to win his first Slam title.
That’s $100,000 but also a step forward for the reigning 1500m World Champion.

Listen to these stories of people working jobs to support their track career once they turn pro. It’s more common than you realize
This is why opportunities to make real money like this are so important for our sport

Stay tuned.
@MJGold Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is too good to put her with the easiest rivals. She should run 400m against Paulino and Nasser. The best is @itsgabbyt because she doesn't mind to take risk. #GrandSlamTrack
