Following the successes of race walkers and more particularly, National Champion, Rudolph Mitchell, the executive body of the Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club (CSTC) intends to intensify efforts to send a team of race-walkers to the 2016 Brazil Olympics Games. Newly appointed coordinator of the CSTC Cecil Harry made this announcement during an acceptance speech at the club’s Soesdyke headquarters Sunday evening last.
Mr. Harry pledged to continue the outstanding work of the Founder/Coordinator Olga Harry whose dedication to the development and expansion of the sport coupled with her passion has seen race walking rise to a phenomenal height locally and further afield.
He also said that 2013 will be an exciting year for the sport since administrators will increase efforts for its introduction in school systems and tertiary institutions including the University of Guyana, Cyril Potter College of Education, and the Guyana School of Agriculture among others.
Quoting from the 2012 report delivered by the late Olga Harry days before she became ill last year, the new coordinator noted that despite the scarcity of sponsorship, 2012 was an extremely good year for race walking. He said that 36 events were held countrywide, while administrators were able to host the 9th Race Walk month of activities in August as well as a successful two week camp for juniors.
He also noted that there was a resurgence of the sport coupled with a plethora of emerging talent especially among the youth and juveniles. He feels that this augurs well for the future of the sport. Supporting members of the corporate community who donated prizes for the many events were also lauded for their support and those singled out for special mention were Public Service Minister Dr. Jennifer Westford and Managing Director of Modern Optical Service, Dr. Jose I. DaSilva. “Their contributions are highly valued for without such support the sport would have declined,” said Mr. Harry.
