Trinidad and Tobago's World Indoor Games campaign in Portland, Oregon got off to the best possible start with both of our entries in the Men's 400M advancing.

We run the Men's 4x4 earlier in the day tomorrow before the 400m final and this is where we made another dotish management decision by not bringing along Renny Quow as part of our relay squad. We only came to Portland with a 5-man 4x4 relay squad (Lalonde Gordon, Deon Lendore, Jarrin Solomon, Machel Cedenio, Ade Alleyne-Forte) when teams are allowed 6 members which means one of our 400m finalists will still need to run in the 4x4 relay heats and won't be able to rest most of the day in preparation for the final. Our TTO team management are still making short-sighted management decisions which need to be eliminated at this level if we want to maximize our chances of winning a gold medal. I wonder if Sorrillo can run a decent 400m leg in the 4x4 Heats so that both Gordon and Lendore can be rested for the 400m Final?

I may not be as quick to condemn without more information - other than Lendore and Gordon, Solomon and Alleyne-Forte are the only other two 400m men with registered 400m times, the latter a 46.99. Who knows if Quow has any health issues (slight injuries), whether he declined based on where he is in his training, or simply gauging his effort in an Olympic year. I doubt any sane-minded selector would have overlooked Quow. Cedenio made himself available so maybe a meet at this point gives him a reference for where he is in his training. The recurring issue however is depth of quality 400m talent, we do not have the luxury of having a "secondary" corp to readily draw from.

Regarding the relay I would have included a Jehue Gordon if he is fit enough to run at this level in March. Don't think Sorillo would be of any help with the tough qualification standard (1st 2 teams and fastest 2 losers) given that Bahamas and Belgium are in our heat with some fresh runners who neither featured in the heats nor semis. For Lendore this should not be different to what he was faced with at an SEC or NCAA meet where he did even more with indoor 200m duty, yet would still run 45.1 in the individual and anchor impressively in the relay. However as a pro, he may not have the same level of fitness at this point of the year as he did at Texas A&M, in order to be in a fresher/healthier position come outdoors.

Trinidad and Tobago sprinters Michelle-Lee Ahye and Kelly-Ann Baptiste will challenge for women's 60 metres honours at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, USA, today.

At 2.40 p.m. (TT time), Baptiste will face the starter in the opening first round heat. Ahye will run at 2.58 in heat four. The semis and final take place tonight. Also on show tonight will be Mikel Thomas in the men's 60m hurdles preliminaries and Cleopatra Borel in the women's shot put.

Earlier today, Ayanna Alexander competes in the women’s triple jump. The event is scheduled to start at 2.37pm. And at 3.40, T&T will do battle in the qualifying round of the men’s 4x400m.

After press time, last night, Deon Lendore and Lalonde Gordon were on the track, bidding for berths in tonight’s men’s 400m final. Lendore was drawn in the first semifinal heat, and Gordon in the second.

In the opening round, yesterday, Lendore won heat one in 46.38 seconds, forcing Kenyan Boniface Mweresa to settle for second spot in 46.44. Gordon was the class of the field in heat two, getting home in 46.72 seconds to finish ahead of Jamaica’s Fitzroy Dunkley (46.83).

Lendore was the third fastest qualifier, behind Qatar’s Abdalelah Haroun, the winner of heat four in 46.15 seconds, and Grenadian Bralon Taplin (46.24). Gordon was eighth fastest.

Rondel Sorrillo was in action in the men’s 60m semis, after press time last night, after finishing third in heat seven in 6.64 seconds. American Marvin Bracy was first home in 6.57, while second spot went to Japan’s Yoshihide Kiryu (6.59).

Jamaica’s Asafa Powell led all qualifiers into the semifinal round with a sizzling 6.44 seconds dash in heat five.

The men’s 60m final was contested late last night.

Michelle-Lee Ahye on start line for 60m Dash at IAAF World Indoor Champs 2016

Trinidad and Tobago will bid to finish on a high at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, USA, today.

Lalonde Gordon, Jarrin Solomon, Deon Lendore and Machel Cedenio are expected to line up in the men’s 4x400 metres final, scheduled for 5.50pm (TT time). With Gordon and Lendore among the six qualifiers for the individual 400m final, contested after press time last night, Rondel Sorrillo and Ade Alleyne-Forte came into the team for yesterday’s 4x4 qualifying heat. Sorrillo, Solomon, Alleyne-Forte and Cedenio combined for third spot in three minutes, 07.83 seconds, progressing to the championship race as a “fastest loser”. Belgium (3:07.39) and Bahamas (3:07.55) secured the two automatic berths up for grabs in the race.
Late on Friday, Lendore clocked 46.23 seconds to finish second in the opening 400m semi-final heat, behind Grenada’s Bralon Taplin, the winner in 45.38, and ahead of Kenyan Boniface Mweresa (46.33). All three quartermilers advanced to the final.

In the second semi, Gordon finished third in 46.03 to claim his spot in the championship race. Defending champion Pavel Maslak of the Czech Republic won the heat in 45.71, the same time recorded by second-placed Qatari Abdalelah Haroun.

T&T sprinters, Michelle-Lee Ahye and Kelly-Ann Baptiste were in action after press time last night in the women’s 60m semis. They were both hoping to line up in the final a couple hours later.

Ahye was on fire in the fourth of six first round heats, yesterday. She won the race in 7.09 seconds to improve on the 7.10 national record she established in 2014 and equalled earlier this month. Baptiste clocked 7.20 seconds to finish third in the opening heat, advancing automatically to the semi-final round.
Ahye and Jamaican Elaine Thompson were second fastest in the heats at 7.09, two-hundredths of a second slower than American Barbara Pierre.

Ayanna Alexander was unable to produce a legal effort in yesterday’s women’s triple jump event, the T&T athlete fouling on all three attempts. Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas (14.41m), German Kristin Gierisch (14.30m) and Greek Paraskevi Papahristou (14.15m) earned gold, silver and bronze, respectively.

On Friday night, Sorrillo bowed out of the men’s 60m event when he finished sixth in the first semi-final in 6.68 seconds.

Asafa Powell was tipped for gold after producing a Central American and Caribbean (CAC) record time of 6.44 seconds in the first round and matching it in the semis. But in true Powell style, the Jamaican could not deliver the knockout punch, and had to settle for silver in 6.50. He finished behind American Trayvon Bromell, the gold medallist in 6.47, and just ahead of Barbadian bronze medallist Ramon Gittens, who established a new national record of 6.51.

After press time, last night, Cleopatra Borel competed in the women’s shot put. And in another late event, Mikel Thomas faced the starter in the fourth and final men’s 60m hurdles first round heat. The semis and final are on today.

Ahye runs in record time 7.09 seconds

Michelle-Lee Ahye (centre) versus her rivals in 60m Dash at IAAF World Indoor Champs 2016

T&T sprinter Michelle-Lee Ahye set a new national record of 7.09 seconds to make it into the semi-finals of the women’s 60 metres at the IAAF World Indoor Championships at the Oregon Convention Centre in Portland, USA, yesterday.

Ahye won heat four with ease, finishing ahead of Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith (7.12) and Gloria Hooper of Italy, who ran a personal best of 7.29 to take the final automatic qualification spot.

“I’m very happy about it. I was expecting it to happen, but not in the first round,” Ahye was quoted saying on the IAAF website.

Kelly-Ann Baptiste ran her season’s best 7.20 to finish third in the first heat of the dash which was good enough to take her into the semi-finals and hopefully into the final. Both races were scheduled for last night.

Quartermilers Deon Lendore and Lalonde Gordon both advance to the final of the men’s 400m event. Lendore crossed second in the first semi-final in a time of 46.23. He followed Grenadian Bralon Taplin (45.38) to the line with Kenya’s Boniface Mweresa running a season’s best of 46.33 to take the third and the final qualification spot.

Gordon held on for third in the second semi-final in a time of 46:03 to nab his place in the final.  He was also quoted as saying afterwards: “There’s still work to do.” With both Gordon and Lendore making the finals of the men's 400m dash, which was set for late last night, the quartet of Rondell Sorrillo, Jarrin Solomon, Ade Alleynne Forte and Machel Cedenio, in that order did well to advance to the final of the men's 4x400m relay when they finished third in heat one in a time of 3:07.83. The final is set for this evening.

Sorrillo failed to progress out of the 60m event, placing sixth in 6.68 in the first semifinals heat. Eventual winner was Trayvon Bromell, who became the first US athlete to claim the men’s world indoor 60m title in six years with a personal best of 6.47.

Bromell, who almost didn't make it through to the final at last weekend's US Indoor Championships after finishing fourth in his semifinal, was the first man out of the blocks in lane three and maintained his lead throughout to prevail over Jamaica’s Asafa Powell (6.50) and Ramon Gittens of Barbados (6.51), respectively.

Over on the field, Ayanna Alexander fouled on all three her attempts in the women’s triple jump event. Yulimar Rojas only got in one valid jump but it was all that was needed for the Spain-based jumper, coached by Cuban long jump great Ivan Pedroso, to get Venezuela’s first world indoor title. Her second round effort of 14.41m notched up her country’s first medal at this competition of any hue.

Late last night, “Sportswoman of the Year” Cleopatra Borel was to compete in the final of the women's shot put and hurdler Mikel Thomas will be hoping to clear all his hurdles to get into the semifinals when he was to run in lane two of heat four.

Thompson wins World 60m bronze
March 20th, 2016 8:32am (TrackAlerts.com)


Michelle-Lee Ahye (lane 4) versus her rivals Elaine Thompson (lane 3), Dafne Schippers (5) and Barbara Pierre (lane 6) at IAAF World Indoor Champs 2016 06

PORTLAND - Elaine Thompson won Jamaica's second sprint medal at the IAAF World Indoor Championships at Portland 2016, while Deon Lendore of Trinidad and Tobago bagged bronze in the men's 400m final on Saturday's Day 3.

Thompson, the world outdoor 200m silver medalist from Beijing last year, raced home in 7.06 seconds to take third place in the women's 60m dash behind American Barbara Pierre, who won the title in 7.02secs.

Pre-championships gold medal favourite Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands took the silver medal in 7.04secs.

Meanwhile, Lendore added to the Caribbean medal tally on day three after he captured a bronze medal in the men's 400m final.

The Trinidad and Tobago representative posted a time of 46.17 to finish behind Pavel Maslak (CZE), who successfully defended his world indoor title with a time of 45.44 and Abdalelah Haroun (QAT), who ran 45.59 for the silver.

In the women's 400m final, Jamaica's Stephenie Ann McPherson finished fourth in 52.20 after she got trapped on the inside of lane one on the final lap and was unable to overtake anyone.

The event went to Oluwakemi Adekoya of Bahrain, who went wire-to-wire to take the victory in 51.45 ahead of Americans Ashley Spencer (51.72) and Quanera Hayes (51.76).

In qualifying round action on Saturday's third day, Jamaica's Omar McLeod booked his place in the semi-final of the men's 60m hurdles after winning his heat with the joint second fastest time of the round in 7.58 seconds.

Shane Brathwaite (7.68) from Barbados and Mikel Thomas (7.72) of Trinidad and Tobago also made it into the semis.

Jamaica (3:07.30), Bahamas (3:07.55) and Trinidad and Tobago (3:07.83) all booked their spots in the final of the men's 4x400m relay.

In action in the field events, Cleopatra Borel of Trinidad and Tobago heaved a season's best of 18.38m to finish fourth in the women's Shot Put, while Kurt Felix of Grenada set a new national indoor record with 5986 points when finishing sixth behind American Ashton Eaton in the men's Heptathlon.

The IAAF world indoor championships will conclude Sunday afternoon.

Wow, the 4x400m relay made it to the final running Sorillo like you suggested SocaPro.
Luckily there were only 7 teams with just one team to eliminate in SAF.
We will most likely start in lane 1 in a disadvantaged position.

No cedenio in the final, but we managed 3rd in a new NR of 3:05:51. The lane draw killed us more than anything else imo.

DOUBLE BRONZE!
By Kwame Laurence, kwame.laurence@trinidadexpress.com
Published on Mar 20, 2016, 11:11 pm AST (T&T Express)


CELEBRATING: Deon Lendore celebrates following his bronze medal run in the men’s 400m final, late on Saturday.

Deon Lendore completed his IAAF World Indoor Championship campaign in Portland, Oregon, USA with two bronze medals.

On the final day of the global meet, yesterday, Lendore anchored Trinidad and Tobago to third spot in the men’s 4x400 metres final in a national indoor record time of three minutes, 05.51 seconds. United States produced a dominant performance, capturing gold in 3:02.45, well ahead of Bahamas, silver medallists in 3:04.75. The Bahamians also established a new national indoor record.

Jarrin Solomon, Lalonde Gordon and Ade Alleyne-Forte, in that order, ran the first three legs for T&T, setting the stage for the record run.

The 4x4 bronze was T&T’s third in the 31-year history of the meet, emulating the third-place finishes of the 1993 and 2012 teams. Gordon and Solomon were also members of the 2012 quartet. T&T’s all-time IAAF World Indoor Championship haul is five—four bronze medals and a solitary silver.

Double bronze in Portland represented the country’s first-ever multiple medal haul at the global meet. The two bronze medals earned T&T joint-25th spot on the medal table with Greece and Kenya. United States finished first with 13 gold medals, six silver and four bronze. Ethiopia (two gold, two silver, one bronze), France (one gold, one silver, two bronze) and Jamaica (one gold, one silver, one bronze) were second, third and fourth, respectively.

T&T secured 12th spot on the placing table with 25 points. The Americans were runaway winners, accumulating 249 points for a huge cushion on second-placed Ethiopia (56). Great Britain (39) finished third, ahead of Poland (33) and Jamaica (32).

Late on Saturday, Lendore entered the history books, becoming only the second IAAF World Indoor Championship individual medallist from T&T. The 23-year-old quartermiler clocked 46.17 seconds for bronze in the men’s 400m.

Czech Republic’s Pavel Maslak stopped the clock at 45.44 seconds to retain his title, while silver went to 19-year-old Qatari Abdalelah Haroun in 45.59.

RACE VIDEO: Deon Lendore 3rd in Men's 400m Final - IAAF WIC in Portland 2016
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/_cJRtqM3oKY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/_cJRtqM3oKY</a>

Lendore was in third spot after 200 metres. He slipped to fourth late in the race, but ran past Grenadian Bralon Taplin near the end to secure the bronze. Gordon, the other T&T athlete in the championship race, struggled from the start and was never able to recover, getting to the line in 47.62 seconds to finish sixth and last.

Before Lendore’s bronze, Ian Morris was the country’s only individual medallist at the global indoor championship. Morris earned men’s 400m silver in 1989, in Budapest, Hungary.

“Medalling individually,” said Lendore, after Saturday’s final, “is always better than the relay even though relay medalling is good. You always want to do that, as an individual, to go on and achieve great things.”

Michelle-Lee Ahye was in action late on Saturday, trying to become the first female athlete from T&T to earn precious metal at the IAAF World Indoor Championships. She was one spot short of her goal, finishing fourth in the women’s 60m final in 7.11 seconds.

American Barbara Pierre capitalised on a fast start to grab gold in 7.02, forcing Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers to settle for silver in 7.04. Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson bagged bronze in 7.06.

Ahye was impressive in the second semi-final heat, the US-based track star winning in 7.09 seconds to equal the T&T record she had established in the opening round. In the first semi, Kelly-Ann Baptiste was fourth in 7.16 seconds. But while the clocking was the T&T sprinter’s fastest this season, it was not fast enough to earn her one of the eight championship race lanes. Baptiste was 10th overall.

Like Ahye, Cleopatra Borel was one spot away from the podium, the T&T thrower finishing fourth in the women’s shot put with an 18.38 metres effort. American Michelle Carter produced a big 20.21m throw to take the gold, ahead of Hungarian Anita Marton (19.33m) and New Zealand’s Valerie Adams (19.25m).

Mikel Thomas bowed out in the penultimate round of the men’s 60m hurdles. The T&T athlete was seventh in the second of two semi-final heats and 12th overall in 7.72 seconds. In the opening round, late on Saturday, Thomas finished fourth in heat four in 7.72 to advance to the semis as a “fastest loser”.

In the final, Jamaican Omar McLeod (7.41) and Frenchmen Pascal Martinot-Lagarde (7.46) and Dimitri Bascou (7.48) claimed gold, silver and bronze, respectively.

I think if  Cedenio ran we would have won silver. But congrats to the guys on their bronze.
Not a bad Championship for us two medals, two NR and a few finalist. Well done Team T&T.

If Quow was in the squad and we had a proper quarter-miler to run the 1st leg in the 4x4 Heats we would have won our Heat and thus would have gotten lane 5 or 6 in the final. With lane 5 or 6 in the final we could have beaten the USA and won the gold medal with that very same squad that included Ade Alleyne-Forte.

Hopefully Cedenio did not pick up an injury in the 4x4 Heats and didn't run the Final because he was feeling out of shape and not yet ready to run at his very best and so anchor us for gold in the 4x4 Final.
Also being as tall as Cedenio is, running at his best Indoors may not be as natural for him as shorter guys like Solomon and Quow.
