My Story, My Journey
- Details
By: Daejha Jade Moss
My Name is Daejha Jade Moss and I am a graduate of Queens College (Class of 2017) and a proud member of the 2017 PanAmerican U20 Athletics Championships (PanAm) Team, where I will be participating in the long and high jumps.
Every year I begin my season by setting my goals as to what I want to accomplish during the upcoming season. My top three goals of my 2017 season were
- To qualify early for and to medal at the CARIFTA Games.
- To receive a full scholarship to a D1 University.
- To qualify and medal at the PanAm Championships.
I wasted no time in removing #1 & 3 off my bucket list, as I medaled in both events at the 2017 Carifta Games (sliver in high jump and bronze in long jump). It was also at these Games that I cleared 1.73 meters in the high jump, surpassed the PanAm Championships qualifying standard of 1.70 meters. In my second meet (Sliver Lightening) after returning from Carifta, I jumped a personal best of 6.02m in the long jump to solidify my spot on the PanAm Championships Team.
In the fall I will be attending North Dakota State University on a full four (4) years Athletic Scholarship.
I am grateful to the Almighty God for keeping me injury free throughout my 10 year career. I pray that He continue to preserve my teammates and I as we travel to Peru to represent the Bahamas. My goal is to medal in both events at the PanAm Championships.
