Bermuda CARIFTA Team Is Announced

March 26, 2012

The Bermuda Track & Field Association [BTFA] today [Mar. 26] announced Bermuda’s Carifta 2012 Team.

The coaches along with the BTFA board have selected and approved 55 athletes for the Carifta Games being staged at Bermuda’s National Sports Centre from April 7–9.

“Based on the performances of the athletes this weekend I have
no doubt Bermuda will be proud of the team that has been selected,” said BFTA president Donna Watson [pictured]. “We had some very intense competititon this weekend and the athletes appear to be ready and with some fine tuning over the next two weeks we are ready to compete against the other countries in the Caribbean.

“We did not finish our deliberations until 11:30pm last evening as there was a lot of discussion with events where we had more than two athletes. Fortunately we were able to accomodate most of the athletes who had tried out for more than one event.”

Ms Watson added the BFTA selected some athletes who had not reached the standard but are very close and have shown committment, determination and have been steadily improving.

“We are very proud of this team and feel they will perform, bring home medals as we have several medal contenders in this team and make Bermuda proud,” she said. “We have also selected our coaching team, management team and have two physios and mental coach on board.”
