Satisfying year but race walking authorities eye international accomplishments

Dec 22, 2013 Sports

 

Despite hosting several events and enjoying a productive year of activities, organizers of the Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club (CS&TC) are adamant that much more can be done if local walkers are to measure up to their Caribbean counterparts.
This much was revealed in a press release dispatched by officials of the CS&TC who have also committed to several developmental strategies to enhance these fortunes. Consequently, officials plan to host several events with an international flavor while increasing participation in overseas events. Officials are also mulling countrywide training sessions to mould a national race walk team for participation in the 2016 Brazil Olympics.
Officials admitted to debilitating challenges including the sudden death of founder-member and coordinator, Olga Harry, coupled with a paucity of adequate sponsorship but nonetheless acknowledged the input of several individuals and entities that kept the sport alive. Among this group are Public Service Minster, Jennifer Westford, Managing Director of Modern Optical Services, Dr Jose .L. Da Silva, Commissioner General of the Guyana Revenue Authority, Khursuid Sattaur  and Banks-DIH Ltd Events Manager, Mortimer Stewart among others.
The organizers also had kind words for Kaieteur News sports reporter, Michael Benjamin, who has supported their advancement through the reporting of events and activities. Others coming in for kudos are US based Guyanese Andrew Wilson, HBTV Director, Charles Griffith, Chairman of the Green Path Foundation and President of the Taurus Women’s Club, Sharon Moffat.
