Grand Slam Track Miami Results 2025: Gabby Thomas faces upset, Josh Kerr dominates 1500

By Umesh KumarSports

Grand Slam Track Miami has officially kicked off and the first day of the competition saw some incredible races. As some of the world’s top sprinters and hurdles faced off against each other, fans were treated to some delightful action.

One of the most interesting results of the day came in the women’s 100m sprint. Gabby Thomas, who was crowned ‘Slam champion’ in the long sprints event group last month, competed in the short sprints event group this time around.

While expectations for the Olympic champion were high, she only managed a fourth place finish. Ahead of her, Mellisa Jefferson took the win, Tamari Davis came in second, while Favour Ofili finished third.

Elsewhere at Grand Slam Track Miami, Masai Russell delivered the race of a lifetime in the women’s short hurdles event group. Competing in the 100m hurdles race, the Olympic champion clocked a world lead and national record of 12.17s for the win. This result makes her the second-fastest woman off all-time in the event, only behind Tobi Amusan.

Close behind Russell was Tia Jones. Jones clocked a 12.19s for second-place, with the result placing her third on the all-time list. Rounding out the top three was Ackera Nugent who registered a 12.34s.

Another exciting race at Grand Slam Track Miami was the men’s 1500m. The entirety of the Paris Olympics podium for the event was in action, and anticipation for the race ran high. In the end, Britain’s Josh Kerr was the star of the day, as he avenged his Olympic loss to claim first place, while Yared Nuguse came in second and Cole Hocker settled for third.
