Over the past 9 years, she has brought home hardware in the Carifta games for the island and most recently a bronze medal in the 2018 Commonwealth Games Women\u2019s Triple Jump. LaFond was also an accomplished U.S. collegiate athlete as she won conference and All-American awards in both the Women\u2019s High and Triple Jump at the University of Maryland, College Park. She looks forward to the PanAm Games as a place to increase her triple jump personal best with the hope of securing a medal for Dominica.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Short biography on Dillon Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dillon Simon of Goodwill attended the St. Mary&#8217;s Academy and then moved on to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Michigan Technological University. He is the national record holder in both the shot put and discus. Among his accomplishments, Dillon was a finalist in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, a finalist in the 2015 Pan Am Games as well as a finalist in the 2015 NACAC Games. And because he trains hard, his hobbies are very low key: fishing and sleeping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominica was among 41 countries that marched in the parade of athletes as the 2019 Pan American Games officially got underway on Friday in Lima, Peru.
