Background The 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, United States, were held from 15 to 24 July 2022. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time and distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.
As Saint Kitts and Nevis did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified. The St. Kitts Nevis Athletics selected sprinter Amya Clarke who held a personal and season's best of 11.41 seconds in the women's 100 metres, her entered event. This was her first participation for Saint Kitts and Nevis at the World Championships. The official delegation of the nation consisted of Clarke and her coach Lonzo Wilkin, while president of St. Kitts Nevis Athletics Delwayne Delaney attended the Championships as a guest of World Athletics.
