"We're used to watching Shericka [Jackson] run amazing times and do amazing things on the track from the 100 and the 200.... I think Shericka is right on par to be one of the top dogs for the 200 as she gets ready for the nationals."
He continued:
"As a veteran you have to be able to know how to land the plane and what I mean by landing the plane is know when to peak at the right time and not use all your energy trying to show everybody and prove everybody that you're ready to run, be ready to run on the day that counts the most and that means make the team. That means go out there, get on that podium, the world championships and then that's a successful season."
Along with her Olympic feats, Shericka Jackson holds four gold medals, four silver medals, and three bronze medals in the World Championships.
