Mark Elliott [personal], from 2013

She learned she had a talent for running during a road race at age eight. "I was running in front of a bunch of kids who were older than me. My brother was in the race, and we ran together. I finished second behind him, so I knew then that I could run." (clemsontigers.com, 06 Oct 2014)

General
BREAKOUT YEAR
She first represented Jamaica at the world championships in 2013 but it was not until five years later, when she won a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, that she felt she really began making progress in her career. "I started taking my long runs seriously. I used to train hard on the track but on long runs I didn't monitor it with my watch, I just went out and ran. Then I started monitoring my runs and pacing myself better. That was one big change that I made. Also my diet. Because I'm small, people would say, 'You'll be OK' but even though I'm small, I'm getting older and I have to eat properly. So I started to eat properly and that also helped me to perform well." (athleticsweekly.com, 17 Aug 2019)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She works as a volunteer assistant athletics coach at Clemson University in South Carolina, United States of America. (thestate.com, 20 Apr 2020)
