BNAA To Send Athletes To Maryland Meet
In preparation for the 2019 Carifta Games, the Bermuda National Athletics Association [BNAA] has selected 14 members of the National programme to participate in an AAU Indoor Championships in Landover Maryland from March 8th – 10th.
Bermuda National Athletics Association President Donna Raynor said, “We have a team of athletes traveling to the AAU Indoor Championships which will be held at the PG Sports & Learning Complex in Landover, Maryland. The meet takes place from March 8th – 10th. This group consists of athletes who have already met the qualifying standard and some that are looking to reach the standards. We will also have Caitlyn Bobb and Suresh Black who will be joining the team and competing as well. We are also excited as we will have the first opportunity to have our girls compete in the 4X400 and 4X200 relay as all of our team will be together.
“The BNAA are so excited that we can give these athletes the opportunity to get some International competition prior to the Carifta Games 2019. We are trying to have our athletes ready for the Games and not just in physical shape but also mentally prepared to compete and compete well. This is one of our initiatives that we would like to make as an annual event in preparation for the Games. The more we get our athletes to compete the better they will be prepared for Carifta.
“The team managers and coaches traveling are Freddie Evans & Dawnette Douglas-Bobb [Team Managers] and Devon Bean [Coach].
