Jacinta Bartholomew (born 15 January 1965) is a retired Grenadian athlete who specialized in the Long Jump.[1] She represented Grenada in this event at the 1984 Summer Olympics, as part of the country's first contingent to the games and was the only female member. As expected she competed in the Long Jump but did not progress beyond the preliminary stage. She holds the women's national indoor record in the long jump, a distance of 6.46m set on on 23 February 1990.
After a successful career at the college level in athletics, Bartholomew now has an official Arizona University Trading Card in her honor.
