The first official track and field competition for the athletics season of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) the CARIFTA Games trials is scheduled for this weekend at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ground, Camp Ayanganna instead of the Police Sports Club ground, Eve Leary.
Coach of the GDF track and field club Robert Chisholm confirmed yesterday that the trials will be held at the ground and stated that the ground has already been prepared.
President of GDF athletics club, Colonel Paul Arthur disclosed that all preparation for the trials will be completed by Friday adding that the number of entries will determine the length of the trials.
