Martin, indicating that the competition held at the Hasley Crawford Stadium was used as a warm up for Thomas who successful defended his titles in the 800m and 1500m, disclosed that the athlete will be returning to Trinidad in August to train with a Trinidadian Club through the sponsorship of a Trinidad and Tobago-based businessman (7 to 7 Hardware Store), Ron McRae, “The entity will be sponsoring Thomas during the August vacation for training in Trinidad.” The coach hoping that Thomas, a talented athlete, is selected by the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) for the upcoming CAC Junior Championship after his outstanding performance in the boy’s U-18 800m, disclosed that the team has dedicated a lot of time into the games.
Martin commenting on the other two junior athletes whose races were final by timings, stated that Peters, last year’s U-18 400m winner placed fourth in the boys U-20 400m in a time of 50.8 seconds, “Despite Peters not winning the boy’s U-20 400m, I think this is a big plus for him, he ran a faster 400m than last year and it indicates to me that he is improving.”
Peters running the 200m placed seventh with 22.6 seconds. Rawlins, IAAF World Athletics Day 150m gold medalist, placed third and fourth respectively in the boys U-16 100m and 200m respectively. Rawlins running the 100m from lane 7 registered 11.87 seconds and 23.5 seconds in the 200m.
Martin also stated that he was pleased with Elton Bollers performance in the 100m and 200m at the Games and is expecting another sterling performance from him in the Men’s Invitational 400m this weekend at the Trinidad and Tobago Sagicor National Gas Company National Open Championship at the Hasley Crawford Stadium.
Martin expressed his gratitude to their sponsors, Caribbean Chemicals Limited, Metro Office and Computer Supplies, MGMT Computer Store, Toolsie Persaud Limited and 7 to 7 Hardware Store of Trinidad and Tobago.
