Jerome Blake continues to solidify his place among Canadaѻý track and field elite with a historic performance at the Canadian Track and Field Championships. Blake stormed to victory in the menѻý 200m final with a championship record time of 19.95 seconds, making him the fastest Canadian in the event this year.
This win follows his exceptional showing in the 100m earlier this season, where he clocked an astounding 9.97 seconds — the sixth-fastest time in Canadian history. With both performances, Blake now stands as the fastest Canadian in both the 100m and 200m this year, showcasing his dominance in sprinting across the board.
“This means everything to me,” said Blake after the race. “To run sub-20 and set a new championship record at home is a dream. I’ve been working for this moment all season — and itѻý just the beginning.”
Known for his explosive starts and relentless drive, Blake has represented Canada on the world stage with distinction — including being a part of Canadaѻý 4x100m relay team who won the gold at the last Olympics. Now, with his individual achievements reaching new heights, he is poised for a major breakthrough on the global circuit.
As the World Championships approach, Jerome Blake is not just chasing medals — heѻý rewriting history.
