Tapper changes training base ahead of 2026 season

Olympic sprint hurdles bronze medallist Megan Tapper is on the move to another training base after a grade one hamstring strain ruled her out of the World Championships in Tokyo last month.

Tapper confirmed with Radio Jamaica Sports on Friday that she will now be working with Lonnie Greene, who is the head coach at the University of Kentucky, ahead of the 2026 season.

This comes after three seasons with Reynaldo Walcott at Elite Performance Track Club. The diminutive hurdler lowered her personal best from 12.51 seconds in 2022 to 12.34 seconds, while winning her fourth National Championship title in June.
