A number of top Jamaican junior athletes will be missing from the three-day Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association JAAA Carifta Trials set to get under way today at the National Stadium with the first event set to start at pm. The Trials are being used to select the Jamaican team to the 48th staging of the regional championships that will be held at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in the Cayman Islands from April Eight finals will be contested today, all in the field, while the first rounds of the m, m and 1,m in both Under and Under age groups will also be held.
The entire Hydel High team is set to miss the event, Edwin Allen's Kevona Davis will miss the regional championships for the second-straight year while her teammate Rushana Dwyer, Kingston College's Terrique Stennett and Holmwood Technical's Michae Harriott were not entered, and Petersfield High's Antonio Watson has been entered but will be under close scrutiny from his coaches. Kingston College's Wayne Pinnock, who set new Champs records in the long jump and m hurdles, was also entered but his head coach Leaford Grant said his participation was not per cent certain.
Davis was pulled from the relays at Champs last week after retaining her Class Two sprint double; Harriott did not run the relays either, while Watson did not show up for the final of the Class One m and m where he was tipped to win medals. Machell Woolery, who conditions Watson at Petersfield High, said he was pulled from Champs out of precautions after complaining of soreness in his hamstring and while he had not trained this past week, had gone to seek medical attention.
A number of top coaches were of the opinion that performances from the ISSA Championships last week could have been used to select most of the teams with a scaled-down Carifta Trials used for those who were not domiciled in the island or did not compete at Champs.
His counterpart at Edwin Allen Michael Dyke agreed that Champs should be used in the case where both events were being held so close together. One day earlier he had won the one-lap hurdles final in But while Hyde is a relatively established talent, this meeting unearthed some exciting new stars. Christopher Taylor, just 15 years old, was the talk of Kingston after winning the under m in He shot into an early lead and moved up a gear coming off the final bend, but eased up some 10 metres before crossing the finish line, winning by almost two seconds.
His winning time shaved 0. Taylor rocketed up to ninth on the world youth all-time list, but is a whisker shy of the Jamaican youth record of He is now a huge favourite to succeed fellow Jamaican Martin Manley as world youth m champion later this year. Junelle Bromfield won both one-lap finals; one in the flat and one over the barriers. BVI President Interview. Berlin: Smaller Territories excel.
