Stars shine at Nationals 2007

Ok,so the Barbados Advocate said it first( I think), but athletes from the Rising Stars Track & Field Club shone from Friday June 22nd - Sunday June 24th at the 2007 National Track and Field Championships.
So we didn't win everything( that was absolutely impossible), but with all the top three placings( read the Advocate if wunna doubt me), this club was D BOMB!!
Those who weren't at the Stadium,read on. For those who were there, you can read on too!
Imagine that old-stager Agard in this his twilight years could run so fast and get a bronze in an event where he was on of the oldest? Chalk one for the aged!!
Weeeeeeeasel slithered to victory in the Men's 400m 'B' final, Kierre ran a 13.67 and beat up the place like she own it,Frenchie did what is natural.Yeah,he won again.
Now I hope wunna realise that the best was saved for last? In this case it was two best( if that is possible). Imagine again that D great Oba nearly get a coronary ( for those who don't know the meaning : heart attack). Waterford was ablaze when Sheila and Michael child nearly TRACK spraddled the mighty "O". He ran he to the ground. GOOD RACE FELLA!!
After training for less than two months, Gue Gue from d'arleans( how he pronounces it) hurdled literally to be a national Champion in the 400m hurdles. Guy,you showed the heart of a true LIBRAN and it was a job well done.
With the good, there is often the bad and the shock for the club occured also in the Men's 400m hurdles.Imagine an athlete(any athlete) training,wasting the coaches time,registering to compete,signing up to compete and then barring injury( nothing was relayed) DIDN'T COMPETE???
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!!
So in the end after a weekend of true dominance,Nationals 2007 proved a resounding success for the RST&FC and all was well in the galaxy again.

COME BACK LATER FOR THE RESULTS !!!
