Jackson Clarke
The US-based Clarke booked his spot in the semi-finals by winning Heat 2 of the men’s 200m with a time of 21.37s.
However, Clarke clocked 21.88s in Semifinal 1, finishing 7th and extending the country’s wait for another medal since Kadecia Baird’s silver in the women’s 400m at the 2012 Championships in Spain.
Clarke was the only Guyanese athlete to advance past the first round of the 200m, as Athaleyha Hinckson (24.39s) and Nalicia Glenn (25.20s) did not progress.
