Trecia Smith - FILE
WORLD OUTDOOR TRIPLE jump champion Trecia-Kaye Smith, world indoor 4x400m gold medallist Davian Clarke and his wife Lacena Golding-Clarke, the world's fastest 100m hurdler this season, head Jamaica's 20-member team for next month's World Indoor Championships in Russia.
Smith, who on Thursday night was voted RJR Sports Foundation's Sportswoman of the Year, leads the world with the best jump, 14.75m this season, which is also a national record.
Smith said this year has been going well so far. "I started with a national record of 14.75 and I hope it will continue to go well," she said.
IMPRESSIVE DISPLAYS
"I am one of the contenders again (for gold), but we'll see how it goes."
Golding-Clarke, who ran a world leading time 7.83 seconds in Leipzig two Sundays ago, had another impressive display - 7.87 seconds, the fourth fastest time this season.
In those impressive displays, Golding-Clarke had beaten American world outdoor champion Michelle Perry.
