“We came here for the money.” Fred Kerley believes the track season has only just kicked off. Plus, he came to the Grand Slam Track mainly keeping the financial jackpot in mind. And that’s why the times he was running don’t really matter. However, nothing can discount the fact that he had some pretty concerning performances in Kingston last weekend. He may have walked out of the Jamaican island with $25,000, but any headed where he’s headed next? Well, we know!
Fred Kerley’s Kingston GST stop began with him running a 10.30-second 100m race on Sunday. While that was only good enough for 7th position, the American did pull off a comeback of sorts the next day, coming 3rd in the 200m with 20.39 on the board. His reaction? “Still got work to do” and that, “I’ll be on the podium when it comes.” And guess what? We might know which podium he’s eyeing next. Stay with us for the big reveal.
April 11, Fred Kerely posted an appreciation tweet for the GST on X. He wrote, “Blessing collect money and living a lil bit @GrandSlamTrack as athlete, we appreciate you guys, we definitely enjoy this weekend with 2 races.” That’s when Steve Gara, President of the Grand Slam Track, responded to the big man Kerley, “Can’t wait see @fkerley99 in three weeks.” Well, this was hardly a subtle hint. But a full-blown revelation!
Yes, the Miami leg of the Grand Slam Track is coming to America from May 2- 4, aka exactly three weeks from now. With 20 days to go for Miami, it is now nearly confirmed that Fred Kerley is keen to participate in the Grand Slam Track as it comes home. How do we know? Well, Kerley tweeted a reply to Steve Gara’s statement, saying, “Yessir greatness.” It sounds more like, Aye, Aye, captain, Kerley will be there at the Miami leg in a few!
