In Jamaica last year, Attoya Harvey won three medals at the Under-17 level, gold in the 1500 meters, silver in the 3000 meters open, and bronze in the 800 meters. At this year’s CARIFTA Track and Field Championships in The Bahamas, she only got silver in the 3000m, fourth in the 1500m, and did not run the 800 meters due to fatigue. According to Harvey, the ordeal she and some of her teammates underwent to reach Nassau took a toll and with a negative impact on her performance. Harvey and several teammates arrived just mere hours before the competition commenced Saturday morning.
