In a thrilling final, Foster teamed up with Natasha Morrison, Krystal Sloley, and Javari Thomas to clock an impressive 41.04 seconds, edging out Great Britain (41.05) and China (41.30) in one of the most exciting finishes of the championships.

Foster, who departed Jamaica just days ago to represent the national team, carried with him a track record of excellence that speaks to both his talent and hard work. He is the reigning 2024 and 2025 INTERCOL 100 Metres Champion, as well as the 2025 Penn Relays 100 Metres Champion and a key member of Jamaica’s victorious Penn Relays 4×100 Metres Relay team earlier this year.

The victory in Guangzhou is another remarkable milestone in what has already been a decorated career for the young sprinter. His performance not only highlights Jamaica’s continued dominance in sprinting but also underscores The Mico University College’s proud tradition of producing world-class athletes.

As news of his achievement spreads across campus, the Mico family celebrated Rasheed’s dedication, discipline, and determination. His success on the international stage serves as a powerful reminder to his peers and the wider community that with hard work and belief, greatness is within reach.

The Mico University College claimed two gold medals and a silver, showcasing Jamaica’s prowess on a global stage. The Mico is the Western Hemisphere’s oldest teacher training institution, and boasts a tradition of preparing all-round individuals.

Student-teacher Rasheed Foster blazed to victory in the Men’s 100m Championship, seizing gold with a scorching 10.46 seconds. Foster then anchored the College Men’s 4x100m Relay, joining Rimando Thomas, Javaughnie Davis, and Martino Williams to clinch first place in 40.89 seconds, undeterred by cloudy conditions. The medal haul culminated with a silver in the College Men’s 4x400m Relay, where Romaine Campbell, Romario Stewart, Marcus Hutchinson, Jameel Young, and Antwain Williams delivered a commanding 3:13.30.

“Mico’s storied legacy transcends academia, as our students’ triumphs at the 2025 Penn Relays attest,” declared Dr. Asburn Pinnock, President of Mico University College. “The performances of these Miconians exemplify intellectual rigor, disciplined unity, and global-caliber prowess. We take profound pride in their accomplishments”, he said.

The Mico’s team was guided by officials Fabian Miller, Jody Muschette, and Patricia Jackson-Garrick, and their meticulous preparation was on display at the onset of this year’s relays. Dr. Pinnock noted, “Our athletes have ignited pride across Mico and Jamaica, and their brilliance is inspiring a nation.” He added that, “the team and coaches deserve resounding acclaim for this triumph.”

The Mico University College is expected to harness this momentum, with the team set to represent Jamaica with distinction in future global competitions.
