The Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) will host its third event for the 2020 season and the second ‘Development Meet’ tomorrow at 10:30am at Mackenzie Sports Club Ground in Linden.
Tomorrow’s meet comes on the heels of the ‘Cross Country’ fixture which was staged two Sundays ago at the National Park and the first Development Meet which was held at the Guyana Defence Force ground last Sunday.
The meet tomorrow will see athletes contesting the 60m, the 150m, the 300m, the 600m and the 2000m.
The throws and jumps will also be included. The meet will cater for athletes in the Open, U-20, U-17 and U-14 categories.
According to President of the AAG, Aubrey Hutson, he expects to see in excess of 150 athletes competing.
Hutson noted that many athletes from the ‘Mining Town’ will kick off their respective campaigns with eyes on qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics while the teens will be looking to get their competitive juices flowing as the CARIFTA trials and the CARIFTA Games are right around the corner.
The U-23 athletes will be looking to get their feet wet also as the South American U-23 Championship is imminent.
