@Martin Phaye guess she meant at the professional level because she’s been competing for Jamaican at the youth level some time now. If am not mistaken I think she won a bronze at the wold juniors as well.
@Lavern Mills she did represent jamaica at carifta where she actually won and she also represented Jamaica at the youth games where she sustained that injury
@Collin Scott I said what I said. I waiting
@Lavern Mills everyone before her went the same route , Otty , VCB , Shelly ect. Why do we want to rush these young athletes , let them enjoy their youth just like everone else.
Waiting on her to compete for Ja. She has nothing to gain by competing against her High School counterparts. She needs to be challenged.
Father god keep her injuries free I wanted to see her on the big stage so that one more mother/ father can be proud/ families/friends/us as a country be jumping for joy
Great start Kevona! Congrats and best wishes! ?????
If the time is confirmed, then this is phenomenal. Was this electronic or hand timing?
22.86 on grass 5 months before Olympic trials. Hope it’s not a case of too fast too soon. Either bad timing by coach or she on target to run sub 22 at thec.Olympics
Wow
The coach told you .for .injury free and rearing to go.to she did,very easy too.I always trust in him.
Let’s pray that Kevona stays injury-free all 2020 and beyond ?
You need to boo dat ugly thing on you body call face, damn ugly ass, Kevona is doing just fine, people like unu give Jamaican bad name. Brianna chose to go pro and i love her for that. Kevona choose to continue run as high school athlete and I love her for that. Do you know that Shelly ann, Elaine and Veronica were all high school runners and wait to go pro? So shut de F up with you ugly ass.
No need to tear down a talent because u have nothing to gain from it what is ur talent. Take your unhappy self somewhere else and leave the CHILD alone
Stop hating. Both are national representatives. Fun fact… Brianna has never beaten her
@Kenroy Citty Smith Yes?? Tell Kevona and her COACH that ????
