CARIFTA Games bound sprinters Avon Samuels, Tirana Mitchell, Jason Yaw and Alita Moore registered remarkably fast performances at last weekend’s Developmental Meet held at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ground, Camp Ayanganna.
However, Coach of the Running Brave Track club Julian Edmonds said that although the sprinters continue to amaze him with those extremely fast times, a tough challenge awaits them at the CARIFTA Games which will be held in The Bahamas from March 28-April 1.
Edmonds said that the sprint events are extremely competitive and medals are harder to attain.
“It’s going to be tough for the sprinters to medal at CARIFTA,” Edmonds said.
“Making the finals alone would be a good achievement but it would take a lot for the sprinters to get medals.
