Jereem clocks 10.25 at Pure Athletics Invitational

Largely known for his exploits over the 200-metre and 400m disciplines. Trinidad and Tobago track and field star Jereem Richards switched things up over the weekend when he clocked 10.25 seconds in the 100m final at the Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in Florida on April 25. 

Competing at the National Training Centre in Clermont, the 32-year-old Richards placed fourth in the final behind Jamaica's Ryiem Forde (10.12s), Ivory Coast's Cheickna Traore (10.16s) and American Brendon Stewart (10.22s). Earlier in the day, Richards won heat five in 10.28s, getting clear daylight between himself and the heat's runner-up Ian Kerr (10.58s).

At this very meet last year, Richards ran a personal best time across the 100m distance when he clocked 10.16s. The highlight of Richards' 2025 season was, of course, his stunning silver-medal finish in the 400m final at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. 

At the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, last month, Richards grabbed bronze in the men's 400m final in 45.39s.
