Career
Earlier in her career, especially while competing for the Crimson Tide Track and Field Team at the University of Alabama, she also competed in the triple jump and hurdles. On May 17, 1987 at a meet in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States., Flora surpassed the world record in the Triple Jump with a jump of 13.73 meters, but the feat could not be given official recognition because the meet officials lacked appropriate measuring tools. Yet, she is still included on unofficial world record progression lists.
After pursuing her athletic career, Flora Hyacinth went on to pursue a career as a Chiropractor.
