Historically when the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) stages its annual National Senior Championships, most if not all of the events are dominated by the senior and more seasoned athletes.
However, the past weekend at the National Track and Field Centre perhaps ushered in a changing of the guard and broke the tradition of the two-day fixture as it was highlighted by teen athletes who took the spoils in the blue riband sprint events, the middle distance races and in the field events.
Right before our eyes, we are witnessing the extinction of notable senior track and field athletes competing on the local scene in the AAG’s calendar fixture.
