Yesterday Calvin Thomas gave Guyana a silver medal by placing 2nd in the 3000M, Division 5 event. Guyana has so far 3 silver and 1bronze medal.
Because of extremely hot sunny conditions the 3000M in which Calvin Thomas competed in, had to be postponed to yesterday. Thomas’s next event will be 5000M which is scheduled for today along with the 200M events for the females.
The team will compete in mixed 4x400M relay tomorrow.
