Both hurdlers competed at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and reached the final in their respective races.

Clarke is a rising star in the 400m hurdles. At the 2023 World Championships he set the U20 World Record in the 400m hurdles with his 47.34 run. At just 20 years old, he competed in the Paris Olympic final and is quickly rising to fame in Jamaica.

Nugent is a 100m hurdles specialist. In 2024, she won the Jamaican National Championship and set the Jamaican national record of 12.28 in the 100m hurdles. She then competed at the Rome Golden Gala later in the season and ran 12.24. With that run, she became the fourth-fastest women in event history.

"For me, it's all about growth," Nugent said. "I'm constantly looking for ways to get better, and Grand Slam Track gives me the platform to do just that. Racing at this level, over and over, against the best in the world, is what I've always wanted, and I'm ready to see how much more I can achieve."
