Inter-Guiana Games’ (IGG) Athletics Coach, Lyndon Wilson is confident that Guyana will retain the athletics title they won at home in 2008. He said that he has no doubt that Guyana will win the title with its young athletics team.
Wilson was speaking briefly to Kaieteur Sport at the Police Sports Club Ground yesterday where the female relay team, Marcia Isaacs, Shanna Thornhill, Tiffany Carto and Iana Graham had an intense baton-passing session.
Joining them at yesterday’s session were some of the jumpers and distance athletes that will travel to French Guiana tomorrow morning for the first stage of IGG. They out-of-town athletes will arrive in Georgetown today.
“Our females are definitely going to win; we have to work on the boys because that is a bit more competitive. I have no doubt that we can retain our title with this young team at the 2010 Guiana Games,” Wilson told this newspaper.
The National Track and Field Coach challenged the athletes to focus and put in their best effort for their country.
He insisted that the hard work they put in over the past weeks must pay dividends or they would have wasted time.
According to Wilson the team is bubbly and very excited for the exposure they will have on the rubberised track.
Some of the athletes on the team, like Carto and Winston Caesar, will use the experience as warm-up for the CARIFTA Games.
