Overseas-based sprinters and Jasmine Abrams were crowned the 2023 sportsman and sportswoman of the year as the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) dominated the honours when the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport/National Sports Commission held its annual awards ceremony on Thursday night at Castellani House.

 The duo was unfortunately not in attendance to receive their accolades due to being out of the jurisdiction.

Archibald, who is also a long jumper, won bronze in the men’s 100m final at the 2023 Pan-American Games in Santiago in a time of 10.31 seconds, while his personal best 100m time of 10.13 seconds was achieved in August 2023 in Budapest.
