Police Annual Athletics Championship ends today
Headquarters look to take title again
The excitement and enthusiasm will continue today in the final showdown at the Police Annual Athletics Championship which started Tuesday at the Sports Club ground, Eve Leary. The Championship will get underway from 9:00am with the 1500 meters.
Without thinking twice, Guyana (‘A’ Class) and Headquarters (‘B’ Class) after taking an authoritative lead during the week will surely be celebrating at the conclusion of the Championship when their official victory has been secured.
Leota Babb
The Women’s sprint double will have high expectations with queen of the track, Shannon Thornhill looking to turn the tables on new comer Alita Moore who has been dominating in the sprint events for a while now.
Both athletes will be facing the starter’s command in the 100 meters and 200 meters finals; Leota Babb who is in good form along with Nadine Rodrigues, who is nursing an injury, will also be competing in the race, which will be keenly contested among the fastest sprinting lawwomen.
Another keenly contested race for Women’s will be the 400 meters which features Janella Jonas, Thornhill, Akelia Alves, Tracy Moses and Rodrigues.
Trevor Benn will be looking to make a comeback in the Men 100 meters ‘B’ Class finals after a defeat from Derwin Eastman in the heats. Terry Easton, who won the Men 200 meters heats, will also be in the 100 meters dash with Okeme Stewart, who is a bit rusty.
Easton will be looking to clock a faster time in the 200 meters finals as he tries to stamps his authority against his rivals again.
Mandela Collins who has been having a great week on the track will be looking to repeat his 400 meters heat win in the finals against National Table Tennis player, Nigel Bryan and Kevin Bayley.
Bayley, suffering an upset in the 800 meters, will be gunning to defeat the field in the Men ‘B’ Class 1500 meters after being outclassed by Edward DaSilva and Collins on day two of the Championship.
