Looking forward to seeing and hearing things about her and the athletics organization after this event.
Most female athletes are running 6.4secs. Trip is not necessary for Dad and daughter
I just posted a question the other day about, Antigua having no athletes heading to the In Door Worlds Championship, but I guess I was wrong. I see we find one, hope she at least gives it her all and gets out the heats. Don’t no much about her times since I yet to see her compete on the college circuit, or even professionally, so to just be thrown in the ring with the top and fastest track and field athletes in the world, makes no sense to me, but as a coach and father, Jawaki should have been updated with the personal times, and with these times in hand, be able to tell if this trip is worth it. Unless it’s one of those trip where a country is granted a free trip to one athlete to compete and Jawaki said why not. Good luck Ms Jones, give it your all and if you can make it out your heats, that alone is a success.
By the way I notice we attached a number of our Carifta athletes names to relays, hope we have them practicing, and training together.
