“This meet was not even in my programme, but everyone from Jamaica was saying they wanted me to come and run in Jamaica, so I just spoke to my coach, and we decided to add it to my programme.
“I hope to do really well because I know that I am in good shape. This is going to be my first official 100-metre [race] of the season, and so I want it to be memorable because it is in Jamaica,” she said.
