2014

Mark Jelks switched allegiance to Nigeria in 2014. He announced his arrival in June 2014 by winning the Nigerian national championships in the 100 metres. A month and a half later Jelks ran his first international competition in a Nigerian uniform, making the final in the 100 metes at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

He placed third at the 2007 Boston Indoor Games in a personal record of 6.60 seconds for the 60 m. He placed fourth in that event at the USA Indoors and after that he ran a season's best of 10.04 seconds in the 100 m heats of the USA Outdoors, before going on to finish fourth. The second and third-place finishers, collegiate sprinters Trindon Holliday and Walter Dix, passed up the chance to run at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics and Jelks got the opportunity to compete instead. In his first international appearance, he ended up injured in his first heat in Osaka and came last.

He won his first national title in the 60 m at USA Indoor Championships with a run of 6.51 seconds – a time which ranked him fourth in the world that year. Turning to the outdoor season, he came first in the 100 m and 200 m at the Meeting Grand Prix IAAF de Dakar and was a semi-finalist at the USA Outdoors with a run of 10.06 seconds.
