CARIFTA Games 200m bronze medalist, Tirana Mitchell warmed up for the National Youth and Junior Championships, April 20-21 on Sunday with an impressive win against her Under-20 rival Alita Moore in the 100m at the Annual Police Relay Fair.
Moore also represented Guyana at the CARIFTA Games in the Bahamas. Mitchell also returned
on Sunday leading from the front to help her Club, Mercury Fast Laners to a second place finish in the 4x100m relay behind Police Progressive Sports Club.
Police veteran sprinter, Leota Babb was too good for the surging Ebony Nelson on the last leg of the relay. But the second place finish will be nothing short of a victory for Mercury against more established clubs competing at the annual competition.
Police’s Winston George dominated both the 100 and 400 metres events while leading the Police ‘A’ team to a one sided 4×100 metres win after a great start on the first leg.
Running Braves Athletic Club won the distance medley relays that featured Devaughn ‘Scooby’ Barrington and Cleveland ‘Fish’ Thomas on their team.
For the females, three-time CARIFTA Games 1500m gold medalist, Jevina Straker and Under-17 CARIFTA 400m representative, Avon Samuels dominated that version of the event.
Police Progressive Sports Club won the 4×400 metres male race after a dominating performance that left Running Brave Athletics Club in a distant second place finish while the Guyana Defence Force took third.
Among the juniors, Running Brave Athletics Club dominated when the prodigy, Jevina Sampson took control on the anchor leg after having a major lead from her teammates Straker, Samuels and Ruth Samagon.
The day ended with the 4×200 metres event when Mitchell again proved to be the most important link of the chain with a brilliant start that propelled her Mercury team to a victory over the Running Braves and Police respectively.
