Roshawn Clarke (centre) leans for the tape on his way to a new World Junior Record as he wins the JAAA/PUMA National Senior and Junior Championships inside the National Stadium earlier this evening.

Roshawn Clarke produced a magnificent run en route to the 2023 national men’s 400-metre hurdles title.

Clarke clocked 47.85 to claim the title, but also found himself in rarefied air, tying Sean Burrell's world junior record.

The US hurdler set the mark in 2021.

Clarke won ahead of former training partner, Jaheel Hyde, who finished in 48.45 and Assinie Wilson, who was third in 48.50.
