Guyana’s record holder in the men’s javelin throw, Leslain Baird, along with rising sprint stars Tiana Springer and Noelex Holder, were among the winners yesterday at the National Track & Field Centre (NTFC) in Edinburgh on the West Coast of Demerara.
Competing in the Athletics Association of Guyana’s (AAG) first of two ‘Developmental Meets’ planned for the first part of 2024, Guyana’s young athletes all got much-needed competitive action in ‘odd events’ in the blistering heat.
Springer, who had a medal-laden 2023 season both on the local and international scene, competed in the female U20 300M and 150M events, taking first place in the former and second place in the latter.
