Kaieteur Sports- Sheryl Amanda Hermonstine was elected President of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) following the association’s Annual General Meeting and Election of Officer Bearers held yesterday at the National Racquet Centre on Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.

Hermonstine, who previously served as First Vice President under outgoing President Aubrey Hutson, secured the presidency with five votes, defeating Dr. Ariane Mangar, who received one vote during the balloting by the members.
According to reports, the elections were not without its share of controversy as several clubs decided to abstain from the voting process, and Hutson himself exited the meeting before the elections, citing breaches in the AAG’s constitution.
Hutson’s departure, along with several clubs, highlighted ongoing internal disputes within the association.
Hermonstine, who stepped in as acting President in 2023 following Hutson’s suspension after the CARIFTA Games debacle, is expected to bring stability and reform to the AAG.
Joining her on the executive team are Mark Scott as First Vice President, Mayfield Taylor-Trim as Second Vice President, Dwayne Carter as Treasurer, and Niall Stanton as Assistant Treasurer.
The newly elected Committee Members include Dr. Ariane Mangar, Thelson Williams, Tyrone Smith, Osafo Dos Santos, and Towanna McAlmont. James Cole was re-appointed as General Secretary, while Kenisha Headley will serve as Assistant General Secretary.
Attorney-at-Law Emily Dodson served as the Returning Officer for the elections.
It is hoped that Hermonstine’s ascension to the presidency will be pivotal for the AAG, with the emphasis on restoring unity and progress within the association.
