Once again, I failed to secure a spot on the medal podium for my country; I guess it was not my day to be in the spotlight. I felt like all my hard work just went down the drain after my 3rd attempt at 4.70m/15’5’’. Nothing left to do but to sit down in the competition area, with this huge well cloud over my head brain storming, where did I go wrong, what could I have done better? Besides the tough weather conditions we had to cope with. Meanwhile watching the other pole vaulters hustle they way up, at every bar they came across. Finally the dust settled on the runway, surprisingly the winning height was 5.0m/16’4’’.
Nevertheless, the Championship in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico was another great opportunity to represent my country, and learned a lot from the experience. I have to say congratulations to our two High Jumpers, Levern Spencer and Darvin Edwards, for securing the Gold and Bronze medals at the meet. And for those of us who did not do very well on that day, let’s keep our head up and keep progressing. The best is yet to come!
