Kevona need to head back to Jamaica. Talent going to waste in the USA. She was one of Jamaica’s brightest prospects on the track. The college circuit is turning her out us she is a bit too bulky. She was one of the natural successor to Shelly, Elaine etc. Very few jamaicans track athletes who attend colleges in the USA ends up becoming world beaters. Most of them do well on the college circuit but fizzles away there after. If Brianna can come home I dont see who else cant.
Alfred and Ofili battle indoor and outdoor NCAA is going to be legendary Diggs will be in the mix too
Brianna is going to get a whole lot better on the indoor track once she gets used to those banked tracks. Kevona is a junior now, so this should be the year she starts to show what she has.
This is the start of an amazing journey. Your successes and achievements will b endless. Jus keep going .
