George off to US for four-month training stint
Arguably Guyana’s leading quartermiler, Winston George left Guyana Wednesday afternoon for a four-month training stint in the United States of America with the sole aim of qualifying for the IAAF World Championships, Moscow, in August.
Police Sports Officer, Colin Boyce told Kaieteur Sport that George, who is attached to the Force, will train under the guidance of Joe Ryan at Racers Track Club in New York. Ryan was also the Coach of internationally acclaimed quartermiler, Aliann Pompey.
“He’ll be spending four months with the Racers Club and while there he will be competing under the club to achieve World Championships standard,” Boyce noted, adding that the Guyana Police Force has sponsored George in his endeavours to improve.
George had qualified for the London Olympic Games last year with a sub-46 second time, which catapulted him to regional stardom. The Police Progressive Youth Club (PPYC) 400m specialist, who trains under the guidance of Lyndon Wilson did not get out of the first round of the Olympic Games.
