Career
Rose went to Camperdown High School in September 2000, but was injured in his early years. His performances improved in 2003 and he broke the VMBS Boys and Girls Athletic Championship Class 2 100 m record three times consecutively in the heats, semis and final. He helped his team to many relay victories, including the 4×400 m relay which the school had not entered for a number of years.
He returned at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Athletics and (along with Yohan Blake) helped the 4×100 m relay team to the world junior gold medal.
He was beaten the 100 m bronze medal by Blake, having finished in fourth place. Injuries abruptly interrupted his career at that point and it was not until 2010 that he was able to assert himself within the senior ranks.
Turning away from his injury-ridden senior career, he instead set his sights on sharing his track and field knowledge with younger athletes.
