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.

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.
