Sampson briefly halted by injury

Guyana’s little star, Jevina Sampson athletic notable athletic progress has been halted for a few months after she acquired an injury during her training session with the Running Brave Athletics Club a few weeks ago.
Coach Julian Edmonds, who definitely expected Sampson to qualify in the 200m and 400m for the previous Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) CARIFTA Trials for the Games which will be staged in Bermuda, stated that Sampson tore her quadriceps femoris muscle better known as quads the Friday before the trails which was held at the Police Sports Club ground on Phagwah day (8 March).
The coach revealed that the athlete was in tip-top shape for the trials and said that her performance would have been better than her performance in AAG first developmental meet at the Police Sports Club ground. At the developmental meet, Sampson clocked 58.1 seconds in the 400m and ran 25.5 seconds at the Guyana Police Force Fun day in the 200m the following Sunday after the developmental meet.
Edmonds who is also the coach of Guyana’s runner-up quarter-miler athlete, Stephan James, disclosed that the injury came as a major disappointment for the club since a lot was in store for the athlete that is filled with talent.  “I knew she always had that problem as she always said that the muscle was sore. I recall the soreness around last year’s Schools’ Nationals but that was on the opposite of which the present injury is, so when the injury occurred I thought it was on the problematic side.”
According to the coach who described the disappointment as a major setback, the athlete is currently undergoing daily therapy at the Mercy Hospital by a well-known Physiotherapist Ms. Paula Alexander.
Sampson will not be competing at any upcoming meet until she has fully recovered from the injury which Edmonds stated “goes hand in hand with athletics”.
