Track Quest 2018! Road To Tokyo!
Hello everyone my name is Brandon Jones and I am a Track and Field athlete that travels in and out of the United States representing the country of Belize. In the World of Track and Field, my specialties are (but not limited to): Long jump, Triple Jump, and the 200-meter dash. I am currently the Belizean National and Central American Senior championship record holder in the Triple jump with a jump of 16.22m (53’3”), the 200-metter dash finishing the race at 21.14sec and I am also on the verge of breaking Belize’s national records in the Long jump, and 400-meter dash.
I have the Hampton university indoor triple jump record, ran a personal best in the 60 (6.82 seconds) meter dash indoors, 200(21.37 seconds) meter dash outdoors and made NCAA regionals for triple jump and the 4x100 meter dash relay. Also, I was a part of the IC4A championship 4x100 meter dash and 4x 200 meter dash team.
My split time for the 4x400 meter relay is 45.2s/
I qualified for my first USA indoor championships in 2011. Coming back into jumps that year I opened my triple jump up with a 15.62 meter jump which qualified me, at the time, to enter the championship meet. My performance there was , once again, not as expected, but I did not give up, I continued to strengthen my injured hamstring and groin and focused on my next season where I would be contacted by Belize’s athletic association to represent them in the Senior central American championships in Nicaragua , June 2012.
2013, I competed in Costa Rica at the Central American games in the 200, long jump and triple jump. This meet was my debut as a returning sprinter as it was my first 200 meter dash in a few years. I ran 21.62 and placed 5th, placed 4th in long jump and 3rd in triple jump. Although these performances were not as I expected, I prepared for the next competition in Nicaragua. Now this next meet in Nicaragua proved to be one of my most impactful championships. During this meet, I placed 4th in the 200 meter dash, 4th in long jump, but in the triple jump I placed first and set a new Belizean and Central American Championship record of 15.94meters. This record still stands now after 2 years.
In the 2014 Season I competed in my multiple main events with the determinations of improving my personal best and setting new record for Belize. By the end of the 2014 season, I had run 21.17 in the 200, 7.45meters in long jump and 15.70meters in triple early in my season. I left for Glasgow, Scotland July 20 for the 2014 Commonwealth games where I represented Belize in the long jump and triple jump. Even though I sustained a pretty intense injury during my travels, I still kept my head high and managed to represent Belize to the best of the abilities on an Elite level. My goals in these two events are to break 8.5 meters in long jump and 17.70 meters in triple jump. I feel beyond confident that I can achieve these goals and for those who know me know that I will do my utmost to reach them.
Well now you know about me and my life as a track and field athlete, though I may have started late in the world of athletics, I hope you continue to follow and support me throughout my career. I thank those who have been following me during the duration of my track career and wish to assist my progression. The stresses of track and field range not only on a physical level, but on a financial level as well. Maintaining my Cost of living is one thing but assistance is always needed for the proper health supplements, travel expenses (flights and hotels) and Competition entry fees. For those who choose to donate, there is a donation button on this site here; it will greatly assist me by providing me with the necessities needed to perform to the best of my abilities. Any and all donations will go towards my overall goal of traveling to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
