The following athletes were part of the Jamaican team as alternates or reserves:[5]
- Men: Jelani Walker (100 metres) and Damion Thomas (110 metres hurdles).
- Women: Briana Williams (100 metres), Natalliah Whyte (200 metres), Stacey-Ann Williams (400 metres), Demisha Roswell (100 metres hurdles) and Andrenette Knight (400 metres hurdles).
