Ashanti Richards : Women’s U-17
Ashanti has shown once again that she is a force to reckon with in the region, on Day #1, she achieved the standard and looked solid.
On Day #2 she was pushed by another athlete with about 200m to go, which resulted in her falling down. She still managed to run the qualifying standards.

Nellie in the heats of the 800m ran a very aggressive race and attained the Carifta standards in that event. He repeated this performance one hour later, which is commendable.
His 400m event needs a lot of work if he wants to be competitive in this event in the future. He stated that he is not a fan of the 400m and would wish to be in the 1500m instead of the 400m.

Marlene’s first competition as a national athlete didn’t go well. She missed the Carifta Standard as a result of her inexperience at this level of competition.
Before the 1500m event she did not follow her race plan. She now needs to work on her self confidence so she can perform to her ability.

Amal’s performance in the 400m prelims was one of a high standard. He executed his race well. He is technically sound and used his stride length close to perfection. This performance allowed him to dominate the race.
From observation, Amal appears a better sprinter than middle distance runner. His performance in the heats was much better than that in the finals.

Annecia had a better showing in the 400m than the 200m. She seemed to have a good technique during the 400m. In the 200m she had more back lift than knee lift. She can be a force to reckon with in the 400m. She was very disappointed in not making the standard for any of her events.
