Background The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or 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 Haiti 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 Haitian Amateur Athletic Federation selected hurdler Yves Cherubin who held a personal best of 13.60 seconds and was ranked 112th in the world at the time of his selection for the Championships. This was Cherubin's first appearance for Haiti at the World Athletics Championships. In the lead-up and during the World Athletics Championships, Joey Scott was the head coach for Haiti. Results
