The sprinter’s festive post comes after a challenging year on the track. Her 2024 season was brief, featuring only two competitions—the Prefontaine Classic and the USATF NYC Grand Prix.
Despite her best efforts, she finished ninth in both events and suffered an Achilles injury at the latter, which ultimately forced her to withdraw from the Jamaican trials.
This withdrawal meant she missed out on the opportunity to compete at the Paris Olympics, an unfortunate turn of events for the decorated Olympian.
