Jamaica Celebrates Excellence as Oblique Seville and Tina Clayton Are Crowned RJRGLEANER Athletes of the Year

Jamaica’s legacy of sporting greatness continues to shine on the world stage.

Reigning men’s 100m World Champion Oblique Seville and women’s 100m silver medallist Tina Clayton have been named the 2025 RJRGLEANER Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year, honoring a year of extraordinary achievement, dedication, and national pride.

For Seville, the award reflects a historic season that cemented his place among sprinting’s elite. As the reigning world champion in the men’s 100m, he has carried Jamaica’s storied sprinting tradition forward with power, precision, and confidence—proving once again that the island remains the heartbeat of global speed.

Tina Clayton’s recognition is equally powerful. Her silver-medal performance in the women’s 100m showcased both brilliance and resilience, signaling the arrival of a new generation of Jamaican female sprinters ready to dominate the world stage. Clayton’s rise represents the future—fearless, focused, and full of promise.

The awards also celebrated two outstanding runners-up:

• Anthony Johnson, the veteran Jamaican marksman, was named Runner-Up for Sportsman of the Year, honoring his consistency, discipline, and excellence in shooting sports.
• Sara Misir, trailblazing race car driver, earned Runner-Up for Sportswoman of the Year, highlighting her groundbreaking presence in motorsport and her role in expanding Jamaica’s athletic footprint beyond traditional arenas.

Together, these athletes reflect the depth of Jamaican excellence—across track, field, precision sports, and motorsport. Their achievements remind the world that greatness from the island comes in many forms, powered by heart, heritage, and relentless ambition.

This year’s RJRGLEANER honors are more than awards—they are a celebration of national identity, resilience, and global impact.

From the track to the range to the raceway, Jamaica continues to lead with excellence.
