He said that they will be competing in the Mash meet in March which will be used as a yard stick to select the national team for the games. The coach expressed confidence that the Guyanese can do well. “These competitions will be keenly contested, but I think our athletes will do well. The Goodwill games which will be held in Suriname is usually a tougher competition and our main aim at the moment is to field a full squad of 40, something which we were unable to do in the past”, he added.
