Caribbean TT champ, Lowe returns to Guyana

Nov 08, 2009 Sports

Participated in GTTA League yesterday

Caribbean Under-21 Table Tennis Champion, Trenace Lowe has returned to Guyana after migrating to the United States of America in August with the intention of focusing on her academic life at University on a prospective scholarship.
Kaieteur Sport caught up with Lowe yesterday and she told this newspaper that she wants to attend University in the United States on a table tennis scholarship like her counterpart Michelle John, who is currently at school in Missouri.
“I don’t want to go down there to Missouri. That’s a bit too far. I am thinking about this school in [New] Jersey which would be better for me because I am in New York. But I definitely want to get into a table tennis school,” she said.
“I have to enjoy home now because when I get back, its serious stuff,” Lowe, who won a National Sports Commission Junior Sportswoman of the Year Award in 2006, continued, adding that she is scheduled to go back in February.
The local table tennis star indicated that she played some tournaments in US that kept her International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) ranking stable. She was keen to get back to local tennis in the Kenneth De Abreu League yesterday.
“I played some tournaments. I won some and lost some. There is better because you play every weekend but I don’t get to practice as much because you have to pay to practice. I like here because of that. We don’t pay here,” she observed.
“When I want to practice here, I just choose a partner and go down to the Sports Hall, and that is one of the things I miss. Here is better to train. Right now its cold over there so not much can be done with training,” Lowe reasoned.
Lowe was down to represent Guyana at the Pan American Table Tennis Championship in Chile in September, but sponsorship and other issues forced her out of that event. The 18-year-old athlete took the disappointment quietly.
The former Mae’s Secondary School student believes that she has a lengthy career and is optimistic that she will get many other opportunities. “I get good support and I am happy about that,” Lowe said, ending our brief interview.
