This week we continue to look at some of the phenomenal women who have left an indelible mark in their chosen fields. Let's celebrate our phenomenal Jamaican women.

Grace Jackson

Although no longer on the track, Grace Jackson has not lost speed.

The Olympic 200m silver medallist has remained in the race of athletics.

As a member of the International Association of Athletics Federation's Women's Committee, she is championing the welfare of women in athletics and is encouraging them to be more actively involved in athletics from all levels, not just on the track.

As the student services manager for sports at the University of the West Indies, she is responsible for all sporting events at the regional institution.

The Queen's School graduate has an invitational race named in her honour, the Queen's School/Grace Jackson Invitational.

For many, the memory of Jackson powering down the track is still fresh. Born in Priory, St Ann, one of her most notable athletic achievements came in 1988 at the Seoul Olympic Games when she ran a personal best of 21.34 seconds.

During her track career, she gathered medals too numerous to mention. She was named Jamaican Sportswoman of the Year in 1986 and 1988, and she was inducted into the Central America and Caribbean Athletic Confederation Hall of Fame in 2003. Jackson was also awarded the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican Government for her contribution to sports.
