Letter to the Sport Editor…Powerless Guyana over Kadecia Baird
Dear Editor,
KN dated Saturday September 2 reads of the following reasons US based Miss Kadecia Baird’s representation of Guyana which might not be possible at the Under-23 South American Championship slated for Sao Paulo, Brasil:
Clashes with her schooling, 2 months prior notice is required and attending the meet not feasible.
SN dated Sept. 4 penned a similar report story.
It is quite evident that Guyana has just failed crossing the very first hurdle towards Rio 2016 with the hope of this young upcoming track potential making representation of the Golden Arrowhead, Absolutely no fault of Miss Baird.
The fact of the matter is, it matters not how many sporting events Guyana has slated for representation, we have to accept the fact that the final word from her current US Coach and other responsible persons in her camp looking over her welfare makes the decision when she is available.
That’s a crystal clear indication to me that Guyana is more or less powerless. I am once again saying that when Miss Baird uplifts her citizenship of the USA, global status and stardom could only be achieved should an avenue opens up for her competing for the US flag.
It is also my belief that there are responsible persons surrounding her in the US camp and only with the guidance of those persons will she grow much more healthier.
T. Pemberton
