She is a gold medalist in the 4 × 100 m relay from the 2004 Olympics and silver medalist in 2005 World Championships and now is the silver medalist in the individual event at the 2008 Summer Olympics, after she tied for second with Kerron Stewart in a photo finish.
Simpson won the gold medal in the women's 200 m at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, beating Olympic champion Veronica Campbell and completing a Jamaican sweep of 100–200 m gold medals.
Jamaica also won both sprint hurdles gold medals.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing she competed at the 100 m sprint.
With 11.11 seconds in her semi final race she placed fourth and earned her spot in the Olympic final.
In a remarkable race with fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser taking the gold, Simpson and Kerron Stewart both finished in 10.98 seconds to share the silver medal and to complete the Jamaican sweep.
In their first round heat (without Simpson and Stewart) they placed first in front of Russia, Germany and China.
Their time of 42.24 seconds was the first time overall out of sixteen participating nations.
With this result they qualified for the final, in which they replaced Brooks and Bailey with Simpson and Stewart.
Eventually they did not finish their race, due to a mistake in the baton exchange.
She has run this time on two occasions.
