About Carmelita
After winning her first World Championships medal in 2007, Jeter said she looked at it every morning and night to help give her motivation. Apparently it worked – Jeter came home from the 2011 World Championships with three medals. Jeter defended her 2010 100m Diamond League title in 2011 and added another by doubling in the 200m.
Jeter came onto the scene in 2007 setting a then personal record in the 100m of 11.05 at the adidas Track Classic and then went on to qualify for her first World Outdoor Championships roster for Team USA with her third place finish at the USA Championships. Prior to 2007, Jeter experienced some success in college, but was plagued with injuries from 2003-2005. Jeter is the first-ever U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier to come from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
