BOCA RATON, Fla. – Former Florida Atlantic University track & field student-athlete Natalliah Whyte is set to compete in the Jamaican Olympic Trials, which commence Thursday at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica. The St. Catherine, Jamaica native who competed for the Owls from 2018-19 will look to punch her ticket to her first Olympic games.
Â
Whyte will compete in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash at the Jamaican Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) National Senior Championships. The 100 meters preliminaries begin tonight at 7:35 p.m. Eastern time. Whyte will compete in the second heat in lane five. The top three plus the next four times will advance to Friday's finals.
Â
On Saturday, Whyte will also be running in the 200 meters. The opening heats will begin at 7:40 p.m. Eastern, and if she advances, she will run again on Sunday.
Â
Whyte holds the 38th fastest 100 meter time in the world (11.08), which is the sixth best among Jamaicans. She captured the gold medal in the 4x100 meter relay at the 2019 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships. Whyte was the opening leg of relay alongside Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, Janielle Smith and Shericka Jackson.
Â
The former Owl was tabbed a 2019 USTFCCCA Second Team All-American and competed at the NCAA finals, both firsts for the FAU program. She was the Conference USA Track Athlete of the Year and a three-time gold medalist at the C-USA Championships. Whyte holds the school records in the 60-meter dash indoors (7.28), 200-meter dash indoors (23.42) and 100-meter dash outdoors (11.17 [+0.6]).
