“This had to be sent to the IAAF for confirmation and it has been ratified by the IAAF [International Association of Athletics Federation] and he is now ranked 52nd on the World list in the 200m,” added Ms Watson.
“This is very exciting as you are aware Tre has been in the sport of Track & Field for many years and to see the fruits of his labor and hard work come to fruition is great for us.
