National high jumper reveals devastating experience after testing positive for Covid Spread the love by Carlena Knight National high jumper Priscilla Frederick-Loomis says it was a nerve-wracking experience for her when she contracted the coronavirus. The New York native disclosed that she was just not feeling well and upon taking a test she was told the bad news on January 17. However, the positive result, she revealed, was not the most frightening thing as she began feeling serious chest pains and, upon running some tests, Frederick-Loomis said she was told she would have to retire. “I had zero energy. I was legit devastated. My husband was so supportive but for me it was tough; it was tough to just sit on the couch and do nothing, but I had no energy,” the 32-year-old shared.
