Carmelita Jeter, a three-time 2012 Olympic sprint medalist, and two-time U.S. Olympian Nick Symmonds announced Thursday they will not compete at the Olympic Track and Field Trials due to injuries.
Jeter, who took 2012 Olympic 100m silver, said in an Instagram video that she reaggravated a left quad injury that has bothered her for years. She has suffered two torn quads and once had surgery.
“It’s been a rough two years,” said Jeter, who is the second fastest woman ever with a 100m personal best of 10.64 seconds from 2009 (.
