"It’s more about hard work, mostly listening to my coach and taking as much instruction. But this season, everything is going well so far"

"I gave it my all"

"despite we weren’t a contender, but I gave my best"

"I’m just trying my best so that I can medal at the Olympic Games, stay in good condition, good health"

"Just train hard, work hard, stay healthy, put God first"

"We’re working on a lot of things, you know, most of the weak areas,"

"It was manageable for me. I just had to get out and try to maintain (my form). I didn't get really much to do. There was a lot of pressure because, as you know, people thought I would drop out at first, so I got to prove them wrong, and now I came here and made it to the semi-finals. I am grateful for that moving forward"

"Jamaica has the talent. This is our best quarter-mile programme in a long while. All of us are performing very well, running sub-45 seconds. We give God thanks. I hope all of us are injury free going forward"

"It was very shocking to go sub-45 this season. It was very mind-blowing, but I continue putting in the work and listening to my coach's instructions"

"I didn’t expect this fast an opening time because running sub-45 this early in the season, I am really surprised by it"

"This is going to give me a lot more confidence, and I just want to stay injury-free and stay healthy throughout the season"

"Last season was a rough one but this year I am back stronger, and today was an indication that I really overcame what happened last season"
