Athletes of the Running Brave Athletic Club occupied most of the podium spots when the inaugural CARICOM relay meet was staged on Sunday at the National Park.
Members of Guyana’s premier track and field club, ran away with three first place finishes and a runner-up spot in the four events that were contested during the Ministry of Education’s Department of Sports and the Athletics Association of Guyana coordinated fixture.
Running Brave athletes took home trophies in the Male and Female Open categories, relegating Police to a second place finish in both divisions, while they also won the Junior Male competition. Linden and Police took second and third respectively.
However, Linden turned the tables on Running Brave in the Junior Female showdown. There were also events for the Masters’ athletes, while the novelty race was won by comedian Lyndon “Jumbie” Jones ahead of Leslie Black and Joseph Rajkumar.
Persons of all walks of life attended the event while there was representation by the U.S. Embassy and the Cuban medical brigade.
The event was powered by Banks DIH Limited, Payless Variety Store, Mohabeer Cambio, Star Party Rentals, Real Value Supermarket and Fullworks’ Seasoning and Blue Spring Water, and the organizers are grateful for the support of those entities, spectators and athletes who all combined to churn out a successful inaugural event.
