Check this link for a nice article on Richard Thompson and Kelly- Ann Baptiste. Ato also shares his views.

Nice piece. Like Ato said barring poor rounds management, I don't see why they both can't make to 100m final and make some serious noise. I see Shaver(their coach) is racing them very sparingly, which should bode well for fresh legs come August. They only have 3 meets left to run for the college season and don't have to worry about peaking again like their US and JA counterparts, 2 weeks after the NCAA champs. Well maybe not in the case of Richard because yuh never know what shape Marc and Darrell might show up in, but Kelly-Ann could well afford to take it easy.

bledman have ways to go..he is not in the picture for 2008.  On paper we have a decent team but the 4x100 relay is one race that paper has no effect on.

Really nice article and exposure to a pair of high character athletes.  Keep your heads low guys.  The vultures will try to eat alive any competitors to the dream.  God will take care of you.

AFAIK a QRC quartet won gold @ the Penn Relays in the small highschools 4x100m over the weekend.

Good to see Trini schools attending.

That was in 2001 I believe. They had set a then penn relays HSB record of 40.11, which wasn't broken until last year my St.Jago from Jamaica lead by their young star Yohan Blake.

Maxg,
            That relay bring back memories. The Oval 1969, Secondary school sports. QRC won almost all the events. Mike grayson, Hamilton, Jeff Jones, Ken Jones, guy Beckles, Larry and Jimmy Springer, Bertie Seales, John Borel(I think that might be Cleopatra's dad or uncle), Rudy Ried, Tyson, Don Cudjoe, Mike Andrews and a lot more I can't remember.

doh mind Deeks, ah used to beat half dem fellas name he call...longst ah din party the night before, unfortunately that was every  meet lasting more than 1 day...Mr. Springer well buff meh for dat, then he eventually give up on meh, especially when Larry and David (Mottley) didn't get thru, I had to go in every event in meh final year to beat Big Mike for VL..ah come second to everybody and still win the damn ting...no shame  8)

ps: Our last Year(70) we were the only High school team (4x1)in the solo games (or was it Northern) as special invitees and we won - Fantastic run by Andrews, Henderson, maxg and especially Jeff(Jones)..I did like to run buh dem fellas was beast....with training and sense of QRC relay tradition etc...I had other issues...mostly Bishops, St Francois, Providence etc..etc ::)
1 of the highlights of my track career, funny tho, the greatest highlight was also the end...
