by many big name Coaches and athletes on this special day.
On behalf of her Parents Kcaysha Medas-King has expressed thanks to the Guyanese public for their support and prayers expressed as she continue this journey of aiming to become a successful Olympic Medalist for Guyana.
As the presenter read out her Achievements that got her the Nomination, while setting a record in the process of being the fastest 9-10 female athlete in New York history since times have been recorded, she expressed pleasure at being able to share this with Guyana.
Kcaysha was also a finalist in the just concluded Hershey’s Indoor Nationals in the 400m where she ran a102.36 to get to the finals which was won by former Olympian Bershawn “Batman” Jackson’s daughter in a time of 58 sec for the 11-12 yr old girls. The event was also attended by Sonya Richards-Ross and many others including several formers Olympians, top coaches and technical advisors were there to witness the 400m finals.
It was a well accomplished feat since Kcaysha is at the bottom of the age group 10yrs, so in order to even make it to the finals was great when taking into consideration some of these athletes have more financial support, equipment and supplies in comparison.
Kcaysha also ran in the 200m in 28.04 and in the 800m clocked 2:36.02 which was not good enough to get her on the podium and into the finals.
