Tyquendo Tracey (born June 10, 1993 in Trelawny, Jamaica) is a Jamaican professional athlete competing in the sprints. He is the 2018 Jamaican champion in the 100 m and the 2018 NACAC champion, setting the championship record of 10.03 s in the process. Just three weeks earlier, he became the 135th man and 20th Jamaican to break the 10-second barrier by running 9.96 s in a qualifying heat at the London Anniversary Games on July 21, 2018. Later that same day, he did it a second time, running 9.98 s in the finals.[3] Tracey later anchored the Americas team to victory in the 4 × 100 m relay at the 2018 Continental Cup.
