Judges still out on the winner but Wreford Trim shine in Multi Inter house Athletics

Oct 12, 2013 Sports

Sports analysts remain adamant that children can be easily taught the basics of any sport while they are at an impressionable age. It was this rationale that promoted the firm belief that Wreford Trim, a budding athlete out of the North Ruimveldt Multilateral School, has immense potential and if nurtured, could see him rising to unbelievable heights.
A third former of the above school, Wreford excelled in the field events when that school held its inter-house track and field athletics championships at the Everest Ground, Eve Leary and at the school’s Mandela Avenue location, Tuesday and Wednesday morning last.
Five houses, Alli (A), Wills (B), Sylvester (C), Lynch (D) and Rutherford (E) competed for top honours but up to press time, the organizers were still tallying the scores to ascertain the respective places. Notwithstanding, Trim’s performance was above par and is among the front runners for the coveted Champion Boy accolade.

Representing Lynch House, Trim won the U-16 100 and 200 meter races, and assisted his team to a second place finish in the 4 X 100M relay. His team also placed third in the 4 x 400 team event. While such a performance was more than commendable, it was his participation in the field events the following day that defined the young athlete.
He handled the javelin with relative ease and while his contemporaries struggled to establish favourable results, Trim effortlessly hoisted the instrument some 37.95m to take that event. This was after his first two throws yielded 31.06m and 36.50m, respectively. He returned later in the day to dominate the discus throws with an outstanding effort of 22.96m and the Shot Put event with another commendable throw of 8.5m.
The young man said that he has been throwing the javelin for merely one year. Based on this, his performance is more than commendable. He admitted that there are some flaws in his technique that needs correcting but until the experts intervene to correct them, Wreford is prepared to put his all into his throws to keep on excelling.
The females were also in action and U-18 runner, Shonette Freeman, romped home first in the 100 and 200 meters event. Kaieteur Sport is still to receive a report on the final standings but there were great individual performances from 16 years old, Kedisha Miller, who turned in good performances in the Discus (14:00m)and javelin (13:16m) while U-14 female athlete, Jada Joseph dominated the javelin event with a throw of 15.95m, while placing second in the discus (16.10m).
Meanwhile, Mr Glendon Fogenay delivered brief remarks just before declaring the event open. He urged the participants to compete within the realms of fair play. He told them that irrespective of which team won at the end of activities they still belonged to the same institution.
Mr Fogenay then urged the judges to employ fair methods which must be reflected in their decisions. “When the competition ends, you will have time to reunite with your peers and charges,” he concluded.
Kaieteur sport will publish the results and other relevant details in a subsequent edition. Activities were organized by the teachers with Sir K. Mars ensuring all systems were in place.
