Carol has stated:  “As a native of Jamaica, track was a big deal for us. I was discovered in PE class as an 8th grader where I had jumped seventeen feet in the long jump and ran 13.00 second in the 100m dash on a grassy field. That was the beginning of my quest to earn a scholarship to a school in the United States. I travel to Penn Relays twice, and from then on I knew that my path to a college degree was to earn a scholarship to run track and field.”

“I really enjoy working with the youth track athletes. It is such a change from coaching high school athletes. They are eager to learn and they laugh at all my jokes. They think I am hilarious! You also have to get a lot more creative with explaining and demonstrating your drills. I am passionate about track and field and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with my athletes!”
