Another star surging from Running Brave

Thirteen-year-old Christ Church Secondary School student Avon Samuel is definitely an athlete for the national fraternity and possibly any recruit to monitor as she continues to demonstrate her virtuoso skill on the track.

Shocking performance from Samuels at North Georgetown District 11’s Zone One Inter School Championships left students and teachers in awe. Samuels won the 100m, 200m and 400m races in commanding fashion as though she was in a race of her own competing against the clock. North Zone executive members quickly inquired the age and details of the phenomenally talented teen as they could immediately see the possibility of her going to nationals and possibly dominating. The possibility even exists that Samuels could break Jevina’s Sampson’s Under 14 records that were established just last year after she came very close to breaking the one minute barrier in the 400m without competition.
