Upper Demerara has another prodigy
– George strides to 1500m U-14 gold
Upper Demerara and Kwakwani, District 10, has found yet another prodigy with Cassey George embodying the technique of classical distance running to impress those who remained at Guyana National Stadium Tuesday night for the Schools’ Championships.
Following the official Opening Ceremony, George, with her perfect technique, stride, arm action and general posture, raced to the Girls 1500m Under-14 title in 4:55 ahead of Delcia Harper (5:16) from West Coast Berbice and Rupununi’s Semonia Lawrence (5:17) respectively.
Cassey George, representing Upper Demerara and Kwakwani, obliterates the field in the U-14 Girls 1500m race Tuesday night at the National Stadium.
Harper had challenged George on the third of the five lap race on the 300m track at the National Stadium, but the 13-year-old athlete from Linden would have none of it; she upped her pace and simply stretched her lead over Harper heading into the final lap.
More entertainment came in the Boys 1500m Under-14 race with Corentyne’s Akeem Blackman going on the attack early to win in 4:44.7; Rupununi continued to do well in the distance events with Paul Joseph (4:46.6) second and West Demerara’s Olwin DeFreitas (5:05.3) third.
Rupununi’s Francine Singh took the Girls 1000m Under-12 race in 3:34 with East Coast Demerara’s Kissanna Glen (3:47) second and Corentyne’s Abehola D’Guiar (3:52) third.
East Coast’s, Sean Daniels won the Boys 1200m Under-12 race in 4:00.5 with Essequibo Islands Nkosi Dazzell (4:03.2) second and West Demerara’s Luke Parjohn (4:06.4) third.
East Coast again featured in the Girls 800m Under-10 event when Monica Gravesande (3:04.4) won ahead of West Coast Berbice’s Rolanda Fredericks (3:04.5) and Essequibo Islands’ Sarah Gomes (3:07.2).
West Coast Berbice took the top podium spot in the Boys 1000m Under-10 contest with the diminutive Trevon Prince winning in 3:24.4; Rupununi’s Elton Nicholson (3:25.1) second with Corentyne’s Tyrese Wharton (3:33.9) third to bring the curtains down on the opening night of the track and field competition.
