Career

A member of the MVP Track Club, Thompson competed at the Jamaican national trials in June 2023, and ran 9.91 seconds for the 100 metres in his qualifying heat.[2] However, he pulled-out of the competition prior to the semi-final. This was pre-planned, his coach Stephen Francis explained that due to a number of injuries in previous years he had a schedule to avoid multiple-round running that year.[3]

He made his Diamond League debut competing in the 100 metres in Monaco on 21 July 2023, running 10.04s to finish fifth.[4] In September 2023, he lowered his 100 metres personal best to 9.85 seconds to finish second at the Diamond League event in Xiamen, China.[5][6]
