Edges that weren't sharp enuff

Even stars need their edges(points to some people) sharpened occasionally. It is unheard of that to be glittery most edges (points) has to be constantly pruned ? What is being talked about? Read on :

Halana - 3rd- U.15 Girls 200m - 27.17. Now we all know that something was wrong.What was it ? Go figure!
Deondray - 17th ( u kidding ) - U.15 Boys 200m - 27.57. Somebody needs to let this boy NOT concentrate on scaling bars.OK!!


WAY 2 GO !!

Several years ago , a little boy from somewhere in St.T ( find out who) ran all the way to track and field glory. He lost his way for a few years after and nothing much was heard about him. Then behold 2006 BSSAc and that spindly boy was seen again. Who is he?
Now behold 2007 and NJC, a little boy no more( neither a man), the heir apparent to all T&F gave notice that HE WAS BACK.

Check this :
200m - U.20 Boys - 21.67. Now remember he won the 100m also. GREAT DOUBLE GUY!!!
In that race, the chap from the bridge - ( 7th) - 22.14.


MEN - 200m
Ramon - 21.40
Weasel ( hopefully he alright with this nickname) - 21.94
McCollin - 22.91.

800m U-20 Girls
Jamacy ( no she ain't new) -2.50.37

The motto of this club is " The barrier is in your mind". Somebody took that to heart and literally kept it there. Barriers are hurdles that needs clearing to win, place second or even third.Correct?
Pomposity ( yes walking spring boy, that is a word) and arrogance( now tell me u ain't know that one) are all barriers/hurdles.
So get over these and become winners always,Right Team? - 54.09.

Kudos to Dwayne - 400m H- U-20 Boys ( 3rd) - 58.98.

" I dun widdat!!"

Some were good,some were bad and some were just ........ ahhhhhh ( performances I mean). What was supposed to be a 'starring' role turned into a cameo when the 2007 National Junior Championships ended.
The hurdlers were extremely dominant winning 5 of 6 hurdles finals in this order ;

Rhys - U-15 Boys 80m H - 12.36
Kuddly ( I know it is a 'c') Kenrisha - U-17 Girls 100mH - 14.74
Tyrell ( had to fight for this one) -U-17 Boys 100mH - 14.07. Ran a PB in the prelims -13.87
Kierre ( 14.20) vs Karessa ( 14.32) vs Kimberley ( 14.37) . Now guess who ain't gonna go to the T&C ?
Remember the victory lap(it wasn't) that Frenchie took after winning the 110mH from Ronnie (14.48) ? Remember Beijing China 2006 also ? Now it was a case of deja-vu all over again. Imagine he called the coach and said " I gine blow dem 'way !" and then get the nerves?

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES ;

Tanisha ( she finally felt like running) - 2nd- U-17 Girls 1500m- 5.34.19
Halana ( ran like it was the hills in Massiah Street,looked tired) - 2nd - U-15 Girls 400m- 1.02.29
Bulky Brandon ( save your invinciblity guy )- 2nd -U-15 Boys 100m - 12.10
Jodie ( newbie) - 3rd - U-17 Boys HJ - 1.75m
Christian - 1st - U-20 Boys 1500m - 4.17.99
Damien E - 7th - U-20 Boys 1500m - 5.04.07
Erla-Ashlee - 7th - U-15 Girls 100m - 13.71
Kendra ( finally made a final?) - 7th - U-17 Girls 100m -13.00

FLASHBACK/FAST FORWARD
Close your eyes and go all the way back to the LVS inter-house sports. Bring the U-20Boys 100m into focus. Remember who won and what he did to the 2nd place finisher?
NOw open your eyes and return to the present. The JNC 100m. LAUGH NOW at the results and the finishing order.
Maybe now the winner can feel justified about eating that WHOLE chicken and the 4th place finisher can give Haloute at the Bridge more bizness.

The ' men' ain't get left out. The head honcho was livid at the men ( his word) after they ran a lotta itch ( his word again). " Imagine dem come in here like dey feel dis meet ain't important and run a lotta foolishness" ( yup, i was told to quote) and den gine ask me how dey ran? Man u wait ". Waiting all now.
Ok,so he did say Ramon opened up ? Like yeahhhhhhhh !
Everton, well .................. figure it out
Agard, must've been tired guy ( I 4give u)
Weasel. it stands to reason that it might've been the SHOES.Yup hard plastic guy? Comeon.
Rommell,not bad chap but ask head honcho about CUT years ago.
McCollin, another 50s run. Is this the Bajan equivalent to Merlene ( bronze queen) he being the 50s King?

Coach was more vex and said after spitting fury ( literally,I felt most of it) " I dun giving dem all my blasted time when dem come to training. I just gine write de workout and dat is it. U C how dem come to de Stadium,dem did neva ready to run. So when Easter come and kites flying, I gine buy one and giddem". That is so funny.

To all the Carifta qualifiers, congrats.

To see a star on earth

Long ago in Rising Star land,the Head 'star' said ," if wunna ( not a word) could run it it,wunna could train in it" and so he summoned all the 'stars' from the galaxy for two nights ( yes nights) of intense training.
He called the earthly weasel, he called the walking spring and he made the boom box raise it's volume. Oh yeah he pulled the Xman from the comic book too. The evergreen left St.Far and the old stager (LVS) came from the Bridge in St.G.
The Head'star' wanted the points ( or is it edges) sharpened. He glided,he preened and then he did that some more.
There were little 'stars',young'stars',old 'stars' and wanna be'stars', they were even semi-retired'stars'.
The Sprinters they GROANED.
The Quarter-milers they COMPLAINED.
The Milers they grimaced with PAIN.
In the end when all was said ( they couldn't talk much,HAHA) and done and whoever said when the rain falls stars don't shine,missed seeing what maybe a once in a lifetime chance.
The Rising Stars Track and Field Club had come to the National Stadium on March 6th -7th 2007.
And after that all was well in Rising Stars land.
THE END!!!

Who ain't dead....................badly wounded

The saga of the hurdlers ( Ronnie -14.53 & Ryan -13.66) continued and in the end it was Ryan again. Does anyone remember the Dave vs Dan commercials of USof A before an Olympic Games several years ago? JUST WAIT !! This may get ugly or muddy.
Rhys was third in the U-15 Boys 100m -12.61s. Not bad lad
Ahh,Shakir. D older boys can learn from u when it comes 2 using anger positively. 400m U-15 Boys (2nd) to Taurean Greenidge ( Wibisco Stars) 56.34 - 56.52. Mad as a hatter,look at the results now 4 Shakir. 200m - 24.74 - 25.13 against the same guy.
Tyrell again was the best of the U-17 Boys in the 100m H -14.02. More 2 come eh guy?
The 'boy' ( yeah right) once known as the fastest local athlete ( I heard that on CBC) has won again . The lad ??? from a walking spring ? ran ( or was it flowed) through a good field to win the Men's 100m in 10.74s. Also in that race the evergeen Elroy (10.98) and two old ( because they ran like it) Harper ( 11.01) and Dario (11.12).
Wait nuh,inconsistency and tardiness cost somebody a win in the 200m. the result a third place (21.82).
The flu surely was big that time as even our 'weasel' got it . Kudos guy on a satisfactory fourth (21.96).
Consistency is good, just ask these guys about it :
Men's 400m - 50.06
Men's 800m - 1.57.56
Men's 5000 Open - 16.06.17
Men's 4x100m - 41.25
Bickering ain't : Men's 4x400m - 3.18.92. They should've won!!

AND NOW THE GALS!

Kenrisha again won two events -100m H (14.62) and the 300m H(45.46). Sleeping in the blocks for this "star" cost her a fourth win in the 100m. Yup even stars have 2 sleep.
Princess Halana ran a streaking ( all pun intended) 400m in the U-15 Girls division in an amazing 61.40s by exactly a second to her nearest rival 62.40s. Not bad for a 12 year old huh?
That girl with the boom-box voice though was third in the Women's 100m - 12.25s.

It was just another night when the stars blazed the track and orange,black and white were seen all over the galaxy.
