Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club coordinator, Olga Harry, passes on

Feb 15, 2013 Sports

Members of the Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club (CSTC), noted for the promotion of Racewalk activities, are mourning the death of its founder member and coordinator, Ms. Olga Harry, who passed away on Monday, February 11 last at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after sustaining a heart attack and stroke. She was 75 years old.
Ms. Harry was the backbone of the CSTC, the organization that promoted Racewalking locally, and was dedicated to the development and expansion of the sport. She had a passion for the sport and had worked feverishly to ensure that it developed into a major discipline on the local calendar as well as the Caribbean and further afield. She was also the founder and coordinator of the CSTC.
National Racewalk champion, Rudolph Mitchell, was aggrieved by the turn of events and labeled Ms. Harry a worthy and remarkable servant of the sport. It was because of her shrewd management and organizational skill that Mitchell became a prominent athlete and was able to excel, notching up more than 100 consecutive victories while competing all over Guyana.
In commemoration of her work, the Executives of the CSTC will be hosting a Night of Reflection and Remembrance on Thursday February 21 next at her son’s residence Public Road Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara starting at 19:30hrs. Competitors, friends and associates are asked to take note.
Kaieteur Sport wishes to extend sincere condolences to the family, friends and associates of the deceased. May her soul rest in peace!
