See more fromThe CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez | A Running + Track and Field ShowâFor me, that American record has been on my mind since Iâve been at Oregon. I know that I can hit that American record. The fact that I went to the Olympic Trials and came in eighth off of four weeks of training, thatâs what did it for me. In 2021, I was not as fast as I had been in 2015 due to my hamstring injury. After last year and being at the Olympic Trials and finishing eighth, that was the moment. These girls were jumping. Itâs not like you werenât out there competing. This is something you can do. That American record can happen. All you need is your speed back. Youâre at a great facility. You canât deny your jumps coach. You canât deny your training group. Youâre learning from this amazing training group. Your coaches believe in you. Your family believes in you. Thereâs no reason to not have set in stone to myself: Youâre the future American record holder. Thatâs my goal. Thatâs what I want to do.â
Please give her a warm welcome as Jasmine Todd is joining the CITIUS MAG team to help bolster our coverage of the sprints and jumps in 2022.
Jasmine is a world championship silver medalist from 2015 in the 4x100m relay. She also competed in the long jump at the 2019 world championships in Doha. Last year, she finished eighth at the U.S. Olympic Trials in the womenâs long jump. She trains in California and has her sights set on making this yearâs world championship team in Eugene, Oregon. However, the road there isnât all that glamorous. In this episode, she also peels back the curtain of why she recently went public with a GoFundMe looking for assistance in funding her housing before she makes it Hayward. On the page, she says: âI know I can break the American Record in long jump. I know I can make this World Championship Team and I know I can Medal. I just need Proper resources again.â
Itâs very candid and maybe you can consider supporting her on her journey whether itâs as a backer or as a general fan. Sheâll have CITIUS MAG behind her in 2022.
