"I don’t dwell on last year" - Shericka Jackson reflects on her transformation from last year
Shericka Jackson recently reflected on her run last year and the transformation she made in herself. The sprinter highlighted that she ran the Olympic Trials with an injury she was unaware of. However, Jackson has left the past behind and is now focusing on getting back into good form.
“I don’t dwell on last year. It was a rollercoaster. At Jamaica Trials, I probably ran with a strained quad that I didn’t know about. Last year was what it was and I just want to focus on what is next because I’m in a healthy year,” she said.
“It has been going good. I think it takes time when you had so much go wrong last year. It takes a bit of time to get back in the groove and everything. As I said, I’m healthy now and I’m happy I made another team,” Jackson added. (via sportsmax.tv)
