Nayoka Clunis (born 7 October 1995) is a Jamaican hammer thrower. She is Jamaican national record holder and multiple-time national champion.




Early life


Clunis moved to the United States to pursue academic qualification in conjunction with her sporting career. She attended the University of Minnesota before transferring to the University of Tennessee in 2020.




Career


In 2023 she won her fourth Jamaican national championship title in the hammer throw. That year, she set a lifetime best mark of 71.18 metres in Canada. She became the first Jamaican to compete in the Hammer Throw competition at the World Athletics Championships (man or woman) at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. At the event she was hampered by discomfort in her back and did not throw 60 metres.
In May 2024, Clunis set a new national record with a 71.83m throw at the USATF Throws Festival in Tucson, Arizona breaking the previous national record of 71.48m set in 2016 by Daina Levy. That month, she was announced as one of five athletes to benefit from sponsorship by the Jamaican Olympic Association.
