Former Jamaican long jumper Elva Goulbourne says it is an awesome feeling after becoming the latest Jamaican athlete to be inducted into the Penn Relays Hall of Fame.

One of the few athletes to win Penn Relays titles at both high school and collegiate levels, Goulbourne was recognised on the final day of competition at the 130th staging of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia on Saturday.

The former Dinthill Technical and Auburn University athlete was inducted for her long jump heroics and is still the record holder at Penn Relays in the high school category, after her 6.40m effort for Dinthill in 1999.

Four years later, while representing Auburn, she also put her name in the record books at the collegiate level with a distance of 6.65m, winning back-to-back titles.

In the process, she became the first female athlete from Auburn to win an individual title at Penn Relays.

Goulbourne recalls competing at the Penn Relays for the first time.

Goulbourne remains the national record holder in the event, both indoors and outdoors, with marks of 6.86m and 7.16 meters.

She has a message for young student-athletes, especially those from non-traditional schools.

The Jamaica College 4×800 meters winning team of 1999 was also inducted into the Penn Relays Hall of Fame on Saturday.
