– Lowe, Edghill, Lewis to battle region’s best
In an effort to increase her chances of winning the Senior Caribbean Women’s title, become more competitive internationally and improve Guyana’s women’s table tennis team chances, Trenace Lowe and Chelsea Edghill will be competing at the Latin American Championships, April 1-6, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) made the disclosure earlier this week, adding that Edinho Lewis will also participate at the competition.
“Lowe’s participation, while geared toward matching skills with the region’s best and gaining valuable exposure, is primarily focused on re-establishing a world ranking, which is critical to her seeding in future Championships,” the association said.
In addition, the release continued that her ranking could impact Guyana’s chances of medaling internationally.
“With a full international schedule for 2014, which includes the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland July 23– August 3, Senior Caribbean Championships, Cuba June 30–July 5, Pan American Olympic Festival, Mexico in July, Central American and Caribbean Games, November, among other key international engagements, Lowe’s preparation will commence at the Latin American Championships,” the release noted.
Lowe is resident in the United States of America (USA) and has been training and playing competitive in that country. The association said that Lewis is also training and competing in the US with a view of “raising his level”.
According to the GTTA, both athletes had secured their own sponsorship. Lowe will compete in the Women’s Singles, Mixed Doubles and possibly Doubles competition with Edghill, who will be participating in a Youth Olympic Games event, March 28-30 in the same country before the commencement of the Latin American Championships.
Lewis will compete in the Men’s Singles and Mixed Doubles with Lowe. The GTTA facilitated the accreditation of the players and paid their entry fees. Players from countries such as Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Peru are slated to participate.
