South American Junior C/Ship set for October 16 & 17

Kaieteur News – Athletics Guyana (AG) has confirmed that the National Youth & Junior Championship will run off as scheduled this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at the National Track & Field Center (NTFC), Leonora but fans will not be allowed in the venue.

The junior athletes will burst into action this weekend for the National Youth & Junior Championships at the NTFC at Leonora.

Speaking to Kaieteur Sport, President of AG; Aubrey Hutson, shared that he was very grateful to have the meet run off despite the developing covid-19 situation in Guyana because it is a very important event for the Junior athletes and he vowed that strict covid-19 guidelines will be in place.
Although Hutson mentioned that the executives of the AG were set to meet yesterday to put together a long list of athletes that may be part of Team Guyana for the South American Junior Championships, this weekend will serve as the final call for those desirous of making a good account of themselves to warrant selection.
The South American Junior Championships which were originally scheduled to be hosted in Guyana was moved by mutual consent to Guayaquil, Ecuador that also hosted, successfully, the continent’s Senior Championships, last May. The new date for the Junior meet has been confirmed as October 16 & 17.
Also, it must be reiterated that the South America Junior championships may be the last tournament for athletes to gain good ranking points towards making the final cut for the inaugural Panam Junior Games this November in Cali, Colombia.
