If you bloggers thought that the 2008 track and field season was over for us, think again. At the recent Caribbean Union of Teachers ( CUT) championships in Tortola, the RST&FC was well represented.
The young turks namely Jerrad Mason, Shakir Sandiford,Tramaine Maloney,Shaquille Hollingsworth,Tristan Alleyne,Todd Lavine and the lone female,young sprint princess Tristan Evelyn were instrumental in helping Barbados to a second ( 2nd) place finish behind Caribbean powerhouse Jamaica.
Well done young ones, well done!
Some of the seniors also did well at meets on the international stage. In Poland Kierre was a commendable finalist making her one of the fastest in the world in the 100m hurdles for junior girls.
At the NACAC U-23 championships Ryan.M.Brathwaite was second ( 2nd) in 13.50 secs in the 110m hurdles which was .01 slower than the 13.49secs he ran at the CAC seniors. It must be noted that this time ( 13.49)will be the new national record in the 110m hurdles after it has been ratified by the Amateur Athletic Association ( AAA).
Also at the NACAC U-23 championships, Kiesha Walkes won a silver medal in the Shot Putt with a throw measuring over 15m.
Kudos to Head coach of the RST&FC for a job well done in Poland.
