Kaieteur Sports – The President, executive and members of the Athletics Association of Guyana would like to commend the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport for hosting a first of its kind National Sports Awards which took the form of a black-tie gala.
President Sheryl Hermonstine said: “I think the event was a statement piece, one of a kind, and very classy as it showed professionalism with a touch of glamor.”
The AAG believes that the recipients of awards and accolades were carefully selected by the panel responsible which was also a huge positive for the event. Hermonstine, a longstanding administrator and former athlete, shared that the sports fraternity is humbly honoured to see this level of recognition which speaks to the vision of the government of Guyana being executed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
“We must wholeheartedly commend and thank His Excellency President Ali and his government for believing and investing in sports. We at the AAG have been benefitting for the past five years and we are seeing in front of us the rewards for this investment and empowerment of our athletes. The Ministry of Sport and the National Sports Commission must also be applauded for the work that they have been doing with the AAG, they have been a pillar of strength.”
Athletics will continue to do well as we continue to invest in and expose our young athletes especially. The Academy programme has been instrumental in honing the skills of our athletes, and we are also thankful for this investment.
Sports in Guyana is in a good place.
