Kerry-Lee Ricketts [husband]

Her husband Kerry-Lee Ricketts has served as her coach. (spikes.worldathletics.org, 11 Dec 2019)

She suffered from patellar tendonitis while she was attending San Diego State University in California, United States of America. The injury meant she had to give up high jump and focus solely on triple jump. (spikes.worldathletics.org, 11 Dec 2019)

She began running at age six. (spikes.worldathletics.org, 11 Dec 2019)

She was encouraged to try the sport by her physical education teacher at primary school. She got involved in high jump and triple jump at high school. "I had unusually long legs and was faster than most guys and girls in my class. I loved it from the start. It's not very popular in Jamaica [triple jump], and when young athletes see me do it I hope to inspire them to try it so we can have more athletes in the sport in future. Jamaican triple jumper Kimberly Williams taught me a lot about the sport, it was kind of fun. That's how I started doing it."
