AAG National Senior Championships

– Police Progressive Youth Club leads points table

Guyana’s top male sprinter, Emmanuel Archibald, blazed to victory in the Men’s 100m dash yesterday to win in 10.09s and, in the process, reset the decade-long record previously held by Adam Harris, which was set in 2014.

That was the highlight of day one of the Athletics Association of Guyana’s (AAG) Senior National Championships at the National Track and Field Centre (NTFC) at Edinburgh, West Coast Demerara.

Archibald, who has stepped up his game over the last few years, eased to victory, with his closest challenger being his Police Progressive Youth Club mate Noelex Holder, who settled for silver in 10.23s. Meanwhile, Revon Williams and Akeem Stewart tussled for third place, with the former securing the bronze medal position in 10.40s, just .03s ahead of Stewart.
