I am the young lady whose triple jumping picture was put in the paper. The caption information was wrong. Karimah Shepherd is another triple jumper on the team. I enjoyed reading the article, but I was really upset that the caption was messed up. I don’t understand how that wasn’t corrected before the paper came out. In high school I took journalism, a class that made the school’s newspaper.
I know before any articles come out, we made sure all the information was correct because if it wasn’t, we were the ones looking stupid for getting it wrong. I feel really honored to have a picture in the school’s newspaper, but I feel like this is an issue that shouldn’t be coming up. Also, this isn’t the first time information regarding the track has been wrong.
In the Friday’s paper, the section on Raleigh Relays and the schools, such as Florida State, that were coming was wrong. Florida State did not attend the track meet. My teammate said that Florida State was a school that was very competitive when he was interviewed. We are very thankful for what you do and look forward to many wonderful articles from you all.
