Running indoor is a whole different ball game than running outdoor, and some athletes never get use to it. Kevona will be just fine. She is a diamond in the ruff
Davis wil get better next season
2017 in the. 100 meter Jamaica nation junior trials. Kevona beat Briana Williams.who is a head of who now?
From Day one, my personal view Kevona s such a Special Talent shouldn’t be running up and down for college, for. What ? But Training an preparing for. Future Olympics.22.72 at age 16. Qualification Time. College do interesting in That.its reward on their investment in her they want. The Sport Minister in Jamaica should assigned a specialist to her.
Kevona will get better with time. Right now she is still a freshman and with the proper training, I see her going far.
Kevin is going to be just fine.
For those that has never been a part of a track team to have first hand experiences to understand that these things happens.
Females have metabolical processes that sometimes drains their entire energy and they just cannot perform to please the keyboard warriors.
Please let us support our young female athletes, they have it harder to cope as their body changes.
Davis wil get better next season .
Kevona will get better with time. Right now she is still a freshman and with the proper training, I see her going far.
Love you still kevona

No love lost kavona
Everyone talking about loser Kevona Davis and no one talking about the St. Vincent female who did try well to win and set a new National Record for her country.
Jamaicans are so selfish.
Jealous much Mark…As Jamaicans we embrace our own and we will always speak about them. If u wanna call that selfish that’s your prerogative for us it’s love for our fellow countrymen n women..I hope u r not from St. Vincent as u did not even know the name of the Athlete ‘Miller’. A real Caribbean National would embrace n support all Caribbean athletes, we never refer to young upcoming athletes as losers.
My apologies Athlete ‘Maloney’ from St. Vincent
Oh lord, I wonder if something affecting her. Oh my
Natoya Cole . No. She’s learning a whole lot about the big times. 1st time running indoors too.
Wayne G Beckford thanks.
Wayne G Beckford the indoor is difficult to run plus the USA runners are accustomed to it
Patricia Daughma . Very much so. The curves are razor sharp. CT is also finding that out too.
Oh dear
