(Ministry of Education release) The stage is being set for the successful hosting of the 3rd annual Ministry of Education’s Allied Arts National Schools’ Relay Festival 2018. The committee headed by Nicholas Fraser, who is the Ministry’s head of Physical Education department, had their first meeting Tuesday, ahead of the two-day mega event tentatively slated for the 13th and 14th of April at the National Track and field Centre Leonora, West Coast Demerara.
This event is being hosted in collaboration with the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) and its objective is to afford second and tertiary institutions the opportunity to showcase their skills in track and field events. It promotes healthy/ positive life choices, while encouraging camaraderie and networking in addition to team spirit.
“Fifty two races are carded for the event which will see participation from seasoned athletes while providing the platform for the discovery of others who may well further put Guyana on the international circuit and we expect stars to be born and records to be broken,” Fraser noted.
Invitations have been issued to all Regional Education offices, inviting them to field the best athletes from secondary schools along with higher education institutions.
The meet director is Aubrey Hutson, President AAG. He assures that the AAG is fully on board because this event provides another platform at the schools level for Guyana to produce, prepare and also build on the local pool of athletes for local, regional and international engagements.
