It was a challenging day for Team Dominica in the Boys’ Under-17 Long Jump at the 52nd CARIFTA Games, as young athlete Jaden Joseph fell short of advancing to the top eight.
Joseph recorded a jump of 6.04 meters, but the mark was not enough to secure him a place among the event’s top performers. Speaking briefly with the team’s media officer following the event, Joseph expressed his disappointment.
“I feel disappointed with myself. I know I can do better, but something was just not right—I don’t know what happened,” he said.
He noted that a lack of height and issues with his approach may have affected his performance.
“I think it was more my jumping—I wasn’t getting enough height, and my run-up was not proper,” he explained.
When asked about his readiness, Jaden said, “I was prepared, but probably a little nervousness had me on edge.”
Despite the setback, the first-time CARIFTA athlete remains optimistic and focused on growth.
“This gave me some experience. I know I have to push more, work harder, train harder, and be fully committed to this and do what I’ve been doing,” he shared.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
