Traves Smikle scored an upset win over world leader Fedric Dacres in the men's discus throw on Saturday at the Jamaican National Championships in Kingston. Dacres came into the nationals on the back of a monster performance less than a week ago when he threw 70.78 metres at a IAAF Diamond League event in Rabat, Morocco.
He struggled on Saturday, fouling three of his attempts and could only get a 63.49m as Smikle upstaged him with a 64.50m toss. Chad Wright finished in third place with 60.66m. Both Smikle and Dacres have achieved the World Championship qualifying standard.
