The pair turned in excellent performances to ensure their qualification to the latter stages of the competition series.
Kcaysha Medas-King would be competing in the middle school 200m and Kunusasha Medas-King would be competing in the elementary 800m finals. Kcaysha finished first in her 200m run recently, her younger sister, competing older runners than herself, placed third in the 800m at the recently held event.
The siblings are the daughters of Guyanese US-based athletics coach Andy Medas-King, who has been trying to push athletics in Guyana and the Diaspora for young Guyanese athletes. He has been giving yeoman service in trying to educate young runners and coaches on seeking advancement and opportunities to train, attend school, compete and access scholarships in the US.
On this account, during the month of December into January the Ministry of Education in Region 4 sent a representative to the United States of America to meet with several members of the USATF and other games officials to find out how to better prepare their athletes for the world. The training programme went well and the REDO of Region 4 is the main driver behind this project. Medas-King noted that, “We’re delighted to have her on board in the USA”.
