School is the primary reason cited by Guyanese World Junior 400m Silver medallist Kadecia Baird for missing the South American Under 23 championships which will be held in Brazil September 28 -30.
Speaking with Stabroek Sports earlier this week, Baird stated, “School is my number one priority and will forever be.”
Baird’s remarkable, record-breaking run of 51.04s at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona in July was more than enough to qualify her for the Under-23 Championships.
