United States of America-based Coach, Andy Medas-King has partly sponsored the phenomenal, Cassey George for next weekend’s Hampton International Games in Trinidad and Tobago where she will compete in the 800m and 1500m at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. George sprung to regional stardom after her double CARIFTA Games medal haul, which include gold in the 1500m and silver in the 800m, in the Bahamas. She is also a multiple National School Champion and current National Junior Champion over the distances.

George will be making her debut at the Hampton Games after a much-needed rest. She will have Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) teammates, Onasha Rogers (100m, 200m) and Cassie Kirton (1500m, 3000m), also on their debut tour to the Games.
“Since Cassey got back from the Bahamas she was on some rest with some light work. I believe it will do her a lot of good. The other two athletes are up to the task, and I am hoping that they will do will,” CWSS Track Club Coach, Moses Pantlitz said yesterday.
The Linden-based CWSS team is expected to depart Guyana on May 23 for the Games. George’s Coach and the stakeholders remain optimistic that her ascendancy in the Caribbean will continue at the Hampton International Games in Trinidad and Tobago. Medas-King’s brother, Randolph Adonis handed over the contribution to Pantlitz.
