But she wasn't the only internationally competitive Belizean athlete on today's flight.

We also met up with football star Deon McCauley, who arrived home today.

He's been playing professionally for the Atlanta Silverbacks, a big-time opportunity him as a professional athlete. He's returned home today to rest up, and he told us that he needs to recover from an injury before he can return to professional football:

"As you can see it's a little slow right about now because I have been injures like 6 months now from in May, but when I did my exit physicals about two weeks ago, we found that I had a slight problem that I needed to fix, so I am just trying to recover the best I could."

"What's next for you in terms of your aspirations as a pro football player?"

Deon McCauley
"I have a lot of options right now pending when I get back healthy. I already have people that approach me offering me contracts. It's not nothing that I am worried about. The nest best thing for me is to get healthy. It's a pity that I didn't find I had this injury from a long time ago and correct it, so I could have had a better season, but all in all the experience was great. I scored goals, so I think everything is going good."
