DESPITE the inclement weather, which forced officials to finish the meet ahead of time, at least a pair of CARIFTA Games qualifying standards were established in the same event at the Star Trackers Track Classic on Saturday.

Competing in the girls’ under-17 400m hurdles, Tamia Taylor of the Road Runners Track Club clocked one minute and 6.33 and Azaria Marshall of Red-Line ran 1:08.44 as they both dip under the qualifying standard of 1:09.86.

The meet, which was to be used as a tester for the Local Organising Committee in preparation for the staging of the 50th Golden Jubilee CARIFTA Games, was hampered by the rain and windy conditions, but organisers were still pleased to get in some of the events.

“On behalf of the athletes, coaches and parents of Star Trackers Track and Field Club, I would like to thank all persons and entities who were instrumental in the success of our meet,” said Laura Charlton, who organised the meet with her husband and head coach David Charlton.

“The inclement weather forced the unfortunate cancellation of some of the scheduled events and we apologise for that.”

Special thanks went out the BAAA, BACO officials, meet director Tyrone Burrows and coach Larry Clarke (DTSP), the announcers and sound team, Bahamas Athletics, the Sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, SAC Student Volunteers, the Medical Team headed by Drs. Keir Miller and Cindy Dorsett, CARIFTA LOC and sponsors, security staff, NSA staff and all other volunteers. “More importantly, we thank the participating athletes who too braved the weather and competed fiercely for the prize,” Charlton said. “Thank you coaches, administrators and parents for your support. Constructive feedback is accepted as we continue to enhance our product for next year.”
