Samuels, who was the first Jamaican to win the event at the Penn Relays two years ago while setting the NJR of 4.80m, told the Observer he was competin "seriously for the first time this season".
He said visa problems will see him miss the Central American and Caribbean Games in Puerto Rico later this week.
