When Noah Lyles clocked that 200m race in the 2025 Tokyo World Athletics Championships, he was not only a world champion, but also a four-time 200m world champion, the only sprinter to achieve this feat after Usain Bolt. Today, he is one of the best sprinters to have stepped on the track, and what bigger dream for a 19-year-old talent to be under the same umbrella as him? A sprinter whose time was the world lead in March before the outdoor season began is now ready to be sponsored by the same brand as the 100m Olympic gold medalist.

Sabrina Dockery is an Adidas athlete now! Coming from Lacovia High School, the Jamaican has turned professional with Adidas. The Television Jamaica took to X on October 11, to announce, “Former Carifta U20 100m champion and World U20 sprint relay gold medalist Sabrina Dockery has officially turned professional.” Very interestingly, she is on the same path as Lyles. He also signed with the brand in the summer of 2016, shortly after finishing 4th in the US Olympic Trials 200 meters as a senior at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria. But that is not the only way she is connecting with the Olympic champion.

After signing with Adidas, Dockery will be training under coach Lance Brauman in the USA. He is the same person behind Noah Lyles’ four 200m World Championships medals. Brauman is the founder and head coach of PURE Athletics, where the  28-year-old Lyles has been training since 2017. This opens the door for the 19-year-old to receive tips from an Olympic and World Champion, as well as his coach. PURE Athletics boasts a great resume of 21 Olympic medals, 35 Outdoor, and 7 Indoor World Championship medals. Dockery is a great talent as well.

The 19-year-old won the Class 1 girls’ 100m title with a personal best of 11.08 seconds, marking the 4th fastest U20 time globally this year and also her personal best to date. Dockery also set her personal best of 23.10 seconds in the 200m at the 2024 CARIFTA Games, where she earned a bronze medal in the Under-20 girls’ final. As of now, she has a great resume, and in the coming years, it might only get better under the same umbrella as Lyles.

Sabrina Dockery is a rising talent

If we talk about how good the 19-year-old is, it is worth mentioning that before Julien Alfred or Sha’Carri Richardson stepped on the track this season, her 11.08 was the fastest time of the year. Most recently, her performance at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay, was nothing short of exceptional. Competing in the women’s 4x100m relay, she anchored the Jamaican team to a championship record of 43.51 seconds, surpassing the previous mark of 43.59 seconds set in 2021.

Her teammates, Marissa Palmer, Serena Cole, and Alana Reid, also delivered outstanding performances. Still a teenager, she was making history in Junior sprinting. At the 2024 World U20 Championships, the Jamaican played a key role in helping the Jamaican team secure gold in the 4×100m relay, setting a new championship record of 43.39 seconds. The following year, she won the Under-20 girls’ 100m at the JAAA Carifta Trials in 11.30 seconds, just ahead of world U20 4×100m relay gold medalist Shanoya Douglas.

She carried on this momentum, claiming the Under-20 100m title at the JAAA/Puma National Junior & Senior Championships with a time of 11.28 seconds, and then gave her individual performance a good ending by taking the Under-20 200m national title at the 2025 Jamaica National Championships in 23.46 seconds.

Lance Brauman is a coach who has the experience of training Olympians and World Champions. He has extensive coaching experience, starting at Auburn University in 1994, then Barton County CC, followed by the University of Arkansas, and in 2007, he founded PURE Athletics in partnership with Adidas. Add Noah Lyles’ experience to that, and you know Dockery is in good hands now.
