00:00Well, after the race, Omari Lewis was proud of his achievement as he now looks forward to the Commonwealth Games.
00:06I'm so grateful for the opportunity to come here and be able to compete healthy.
00:10Last year I missed out, but this year I came. I redeemed myself. I want to give thanks to Jesus
00:13Christ.
00:14My Lord and Savior follow me to be able to come here and just do what I do.
00:18Thanks to my coach, Coach Ken, my family, all the track and field, all the guys out there who ran
00:25in pre-frontings.
00:26So it's a good day for our group. My season's been one of the best seasons of my life, but
00:31I'm still so hungry for faster times and just to be on the big stage and compete against the best
00:36of the best.
00:37So it's just a start and I'm looking forward to moving on to Commonwealth Games to represent Toronto-Tobago.
00:43Tyra Gittins jumped to 6.55 meters to win the women's long jump. She responded with the usual enthusiasm that
00:50you've come to know.
00:51Good. I think this is my favorite meet. It was definitely my favorite meet from last year, so I was
00:57extremely excited to come back.
00:59I've been jumping very well this season, and so this is a little bit off of my consistency, but still
01:05always good to win.
01:06I think that also shows a little bit of just stay consistent for whatever that day brings, and so that's
01:11what I did.
01:12So points for the Eagles. Everyone is saying last year didn't do so well. Everyone is coming hard. How does
01:21the team format? How does that play out for you?
01:23I got very competitive. I'm normally not. I actually kind of stick to myself and don't care, but no. With
01:32the flag, don't talk to the enemy.
01:34No, I enjoy this aspect of it. It reminds me of college. I like producing something. It gives me an
01:42extra thing to focus on.
01:44And when your day is not going good, you kind of find a little bit of oomph, and I think
01:49that's what that was today.
