Shericka Jackson completed the sprint double on the final day of the Jamaican Olympic trials by winning the women's 200m, and Ackera Nugent set a national record en route to winning the 100m hurdles.
Double 200m world champion Jackson won in 22.29 seconds, her best performance of the year. Lanae-Tava Thomas (22.34) was second and Niesha Burgher (22.39) third.
"I'm pretty pleased giving how the season was going, I ran a season best yesterday and came back with another season best today, so I'm definitely happy," the Tokyo Olympics 100m bronze medallist said.
"I'm happy and healthy, so it's go-time for the Olympics."
Nugent posted 12.28 seconds as she beat two-time world champion Danielle Williams (12.53), with Janeek Brown (12.61) third.
Nugent said that ahead of the trials she had worked on controlling her speed between hurdles.
"This is something that I've written down for myself, it's on my mirror, it's on my phone, so I knew that I was capable, and as long as I trusted the process and remained coachable, everything would come together at the end," she said.
Nugent's winning time lasted for less than an hour as the world's leading mark before Masai Russell posted 12.25 seconds at the US Olympics trials in Eugene, Oregon.
"There are other phenomenal ladies out there that will be coming, so the only thing I can do is focus on me," Nugent said.
"It's my first full year as a professional, so it's just about making the adjustments with better runs."
A photo finish was required to determine the winner of the men's 110 hurdles, where Commonwealth Games champion Rasheed Broadbell prevailed in 13.18 seconds, just five-thousandths of a second ahead of Orlando Bennett.
Defending Olympic champion Hansle Parchment was third in 13.19.
Bryan Levell won the men's 200m in a personal best of 19.97 seconds, followed by Andrew Hudson (20.02) and Javari Thomas (20.32).
National record-holder Nickisha Pryce retained her 400m title in 50.01 seconds, with Stacey Ann Williams second in 50.56 and Junelle Bromfield third in 51.24.
