‘Nationals’ nicely balanced ahead of today’s start

Nov 23, 2015 Sports

Guyana’s most anticipated and biggest junior sports event is set to start today with three different events at three different locations.
Swimming will start at 10:00hrs at the National Aquatic Centre, while the 10k road run will start from 06:00hrs from the Earth Station, head to the University of Guyana Road before finishing in front of the Children’s Monument in the National Park.
The 40k cycle race will also pedal off today from 10:00hrs in front of Ocean View before turning at Strathspey on the East Coast of Demerara for the finish in front Ocean View Hotel.
While an electric buzz is in the air ahead of the event, today will mark the 55th edition of historic championships along with Guyana’s oldest rivalry in North Georgetown (District 11) versus Upper Demerara/Kwakwani (District 10); the two most successful teams in the history of the championships, District 11 with 14 championships and District 10 with 13.
Nevertheless, while both squads are ready for their date with history, they are other strong contenders that can sway the outcome of the championships.
East Coast of Demerara (District 4) can also be considered a strong contender in the championships since they are always in the mix, while sporting a history of seven titles.
New Amsterdam (District 15) also could be top contenders with their rich history of talented athletes and while they don’t have a championship to their names, the District always finds away into the upper brass of the competition.
Another team that seems to have a realistic shot at the championship is South Georgetown (District 13) but whether their athletes can perform on the day is the big question with a district that has always had great talent but never seems to make an impact on the event.
East Georgetown (District 12) seems to be the dark horse in the event due to their talented team in the athletics division whether they can impact the cycling, swimming and teachers championships is left to be seen.
With all logistics in place for a great event this year, no clear winner can be pegged to take the title from the onset.
