With just under two months to go before the 40th edition of the Central American & Caribbean Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships, the Guyana Amateur Body Building & Fitness Federation (GABBFF) recently met and named a 5-man team that will represent the Golden Arrowhead.
The local governing body with the expert help of a distinguished panel of judges that included current GABBFF Vice President Hugh Ross, former GABBFF Presidents Donald Sinclair and Frank Tucker met on Saturday to name the team that will compete in San Juan, Puerto Rico from September 20 – 22.

According to the federation, the athletes were chosen based on their ability and prospects of medaling in their respective categories.
Those named are: Kerwin Clarke {Welterweight 155/165lbs – 75kg} who won the recently held Hugh Ross Classic overall crown; Marlon Bennett {Lightweight 144lb/154lbs – 70kg} winner of the HRC Lightweight category and a former CAC Silver medalist; Clint Duke {Light Middleweight 166/176lbs – 80kg} Reigning Mr. Guyana, HRC Light Middleweight and a former CAC Silver medalist; Devon Davis {Bantamweight 143lb – 65kg} the reigning national Bantamweight champion and HRC winner and Alisha Fortune winner of the HRC Ms. Physique title and a former CAC Bronze medalist.
The GABBFF has stated that it has funds to cover the costs of the top two athletes to Puerto Rico but will be making approaches to corporate Guyana for sponsorship and support in an attempt to send the full team of 5 which will ensure that Guyana maximizes its chances of a successful showing at the Championships.
