Richard Thompson named in CAC 34
By Kwame Laurence (Express).
Double Olympic silver medallist Richard Thompson heads the list of 34 athletes selected to represent Trinidad and Tobago at the July 15-17 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Senior Track and Field Championships, in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
Thompson, who finished second to Jamaican sensation Usain Bolt in the men's 100 metres final at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, has been picked for the 100m dash in Mayaguez.
The other T&T sprinter listed for the men's century is Keston Bledman. Bledman joined the sub-10 club when he clocked an impressive 9.93 seconds to win at a meet in Florida, USA, on June 4.
The six athletes chosen on the men's 4x100m squad are Thompson, Bledman, Rondel Sorrillo, Darrel Brown, Emmanuel Callender and Mikel Thomas.
Sorrillo and Callender are expected to face the starter in the 200m, while Thomas will be T&T's lone representative in the men's 110m hurdles.
World Championship bronze medallist Renny Quow leads the charge in the men's 400m. World junior champion Jehue Gordon is listed for action in the men's 400m hurdles. And Kyron Blaise has been selected to compete in the men's long jump.
Also on show in Mayaguez will be throwers, Robert Collingwood (shot put), Quincy Wilson (discus) and Keshorn Walcott (javelin).
Kelly-Ann Baptiste will be a contender for gold in the women's 100m dash.
Commonwealth Games silver medallists Ayanna Alexander and Cleopatra Borel have also been selected. Alexander is listed to compete in the women's triple jump, while Borel will do battle in the women's shot put.
Janeil Bellille and World Championship bronze medallist Josanne Lucas have been named for the women's 400m hurdles.
Notable absentees from the T&T team are sprinters Marc Burns and Aaron Armstrong.

U got, u got it bad
When the post is about CAC thread
and all you are thinking about is DARREL BROWN
U got, u got it bad
When You are with your gal
and all you are thinking about is Darrel Brown,
There is man call Trinity Cross
who think he is a major force
all his utterance is about Darrel Brown
No greater obsession could ever be found.
He will get vex and attack me
He will even say words about my mammy.
You see the truth he can never stand
That there is something wrong having a obsession with another man
-
In the absence of trials/champs it seems the selectors went with SB.
Performance in this meet and the eventual T&T champs should provide a fair assessment as to who are the best candidates to represent T&T in the individual events at the WC
-
I am very surprised not to see Marc Burns in the relay squad........I know he is off form, but not even in the top six?
I wonder if he turned down the opportunity to go to the games as a relay alternate

Well hopefully the T&T trials will tell all - who is in form, who is injured, who prefers to run for money vs. T&T
At least everyone is invited/free to compete, and have a chance to prove themselves.

Bledman still did well to beat the favorite for the event.
Can someone tell me why a 30+ non performing Aaron Armstrong ran in the individual 100m?

Congrats to the entire team. The women's team have shown me that they can go sub 43s. Magnolia Howell runs 11.8/9's or a bit slower. Ayanna showed that she is stuck in that 11.5/7 range abroad yet they still ran 43.47! Add kai selvon and Kelly-ann to that team with some solid passes and you have a sub 43s team. Yes that tnt team should really have beaten the jam team but congrats to them. Don't know what's up with josanne I hoped bellile was there to secure that gold but dunno what happen. Overall a great meet.
-
Who is Magnolia Howell?????
-
She runs.....steups. Is like they finding anybody that runs and putting them on the women's relay. She ran in the 200 and finished about 17th overall with 24.60s. When it comes to the world champs I hope they have some sense to keep Michelle Lee-Ahye on that team and replace Ayanna Hutchinson with Kai selvon. I also hope that they were trying to keep M L-A injury free by not letting her run the 100 and didn't have Ayanna in front of her for 1st choice after Semoy.

Wonderful run!!! Just to give it some perspective, our national record is 3:01:05 which was run in 1992, and our fastest since 2005 when we ran 3:01:43. Sub-3:00 is the next step.

Indeed. Very good run. With ZH in the mix, we could get close to the NR. However, this year will have some tough teams competing in the 4x400. I think the top 10 are (not in any order) :
BAH
USA
JAM
SA
TRI
AUS
GER
BEL
RUS
JAP
T&T 4x400 team could pull of a medal in the upcoming champs.
Looks like GRN 4x400 might not make it to Daegu. Dont think there are any more competitions for them to qualify. Unless they attend T&T national champs.

No disrespect but why do we persist with Ayanna Hutchinson, when she shows that she clearly does not perform away from home. Magnolia Howell I am still trying to understand how she even made the team, I have research her Sb times 100m 12.35 200m 24.37 and 400m 54.47 which also happens to be her PR, In what world does those numbers justify her selection. Aaron armstrong I believe misjudge his race as he thought placing second he would of still qualified for the finals.

Lol I agree BUT I also believe in improving. If that's their aim and they are serious about it then fair enough. If not I don't think they should get the chance if we have youngsters who are running better and more consistently so.
-
I have no problem with ayanna hutchinson being a part of the relay but just not the individual, the only time i will have her competing as a indivdual, The only time I will pick her to compete individually is if the games wre held in Trinidad. Imagine after running that 11.37 on the old broken down track in Couva to running 11.5 and higher on a good track in puerto rico. She runs a good relay leg but I think the pressure of indivdual events takes a toll on her
-
Agreed
-
who is Magnolia Howell? Rudy Howell's daughter?
-
No disrespect but why do we persist with Ayanna Hutchinson, when she shows that she clearly does not perform away from home. Magnolia Howell I am still trying to understand how she even made the team, I have research her Sb times 100m 12.35 200m 24.37 and 400m 54.47 which also happens to be her PR, In what world does those numbers justify her selection. Aaron armstrong I believe misjudge his race as he thought placing second he would of still qualified for the finals.
steups..is like you trying to draw me in again or what? I have been asking the same question about another athlete...stop hating....;)
Have you ever seen the track in Puerto Rico?

Jamaica tops medal table in Mayaguez - CAC Champs, final day
Mayaguez, Puerto Rico – Steeplechaser Korene Hinds, the women's 4x400m Relay quartet and sprint hurdlers Vonette Dixon and Eric Keddo propelled Jamaica to the top of the overall medal standings of the 23rd Central American and Caribbean Championships, which concluded on Sunday (17) in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
Trailing behind Mexico on Saturday, the Island’s four wins on Sunday took her overall crop to 10 gold, six silver and 10 bronze for 26 medals in total, enough to lead over Mexico (7-6-7), Trinidad and Tobago (6-3-5), Bahamas (5-2-3) and Cuba (5-2-0).
A three-time World Championships medallist, 35-year-old Dixon produced the highlight of the day with her impressive 12.77 win in the 100m Hurdles, a season’s best that that now ranks her a tied 11th on the 2011 world lists.
Dixon brought the CAC 100m Hurdles title back to Jamaica for the first time since 2003, when she was third at only 17 years of age.
Colombia’s Brigitte Merlano and Lina Flores were pushed to join the sub 13-second club as the former improved her national record to 12.89 and Flores clocked 12.94 for bronze.
Second at the 2011 CAC Games on the same track, Keddo savoured the gold this time in the 110m Hurdles with a personal best of 13.49. Local Hector Cotto equalled his national record of 13.54 in second, ahead of Colombia’s Paulo Villar (13.60).
Facing local favourite and CAC Games champion Beverly Ramos, Hinds’ experience prevailed as she ran 9:54.67 to grab the 3000m Steeplechase gold, better than her second place in the 1500m on Friday. She was also close to the Championships record of 9:54.01 set by countrywoman Mardrea Hyman in Nassau 2005, when she was second.
Ramos had to be content with the silver medal in 9:58.11.
Jamaica sealed her overall victory in the 4x400m Relay, as 400m Hurdles winner Andrea Sutherland, 400m winner Shereefa Lloyd, 800m bronze medallist Natoya Goule and Patricia Hall joined efforts to stop the clock in 3:29.86, well ahead of the Dominican Republic (3:34.73) and Trinidad & Tobago (3:34.84). Hall also anchored the 4x100m Relay squad to silver on Saturday.
Bahamas had a brilliant day with all its five gold medals won on Sunday. Bianca Stuart took the Long Jump (6.38m) and Trevor Barry (2.28m) improved from second to gold in the High Jump, ahead of Antigua and Barbuda’s defending champion James Grayman and Saint Lucia’s Darwin Edwards, both with 2.25m.
Nivea Smith (22.80) and Michael Mathieu (20.60) dominated the 200m, the latter beating defending champion Rondell Sorillo of Trinidad and Tobago by just four hundredths of a second.
In the final race of the Championships, Bahamas narrowly beat Trinidad and Tobago for the 4x400m gold (3:01.33 for 3:01.75).
Three of the man who featured in the silver medal winning team in Cali 2008, finally celebrated gold, the first one for Bahamas since Nassau 2005. Ramon Miller, Michael Mathieu and 2001 400m World Champion Avard Moncur were now joined by starter Latoya Williams. Jamaica held on for third in 3:02.00.
Other notable winners on the final day were Trinidad and Tobago’s Cleopatra Borel in the Shot Put (19.00m) and Haiti’s Samir Layne in the Triple Jump with a season’s best of 17.09m, better than his bronze medal performance at the CAC Games on the same track last year.
Mexico’s Gabriela Medina, in her second season after maternity, took the 800m in a personal best of 2:01.50, confirming her goal to break Ana Gabriela Guevara’s 13-year-old national record of 2:01.12. Cuba’s 2006 CAC Games champion Andy Gonzalez improved from silver in Havana 2009 to gold here in 1:48.15.
Puerto Rico added two more gold in the Half Marathon, thanks to Michelle Coira (1:21:07) and Luis Collazo (1:07:08).
Venezuela’s Milangela Rosales produced the second championship record of the 2011 edition as she walked the 10,000m in 47:19.91, half a minute faster than her previous national record and 10 seconds better that the 18-year old mark of 47:29.6 set by Mexican Eloisa Perez in Cali '93.
The 23rd CAC Championships, being held in Puerto Rico for the fourth time and back here since 1997, drew a participation record of 503 athletes (287 men and 216 women) from 32 countries. Nineteen nations achieved at least one medal.
In its 44 year history, the CAC Champs has witnessed the emergence of the region’s best talents, who have gone on to enjoy success on world stage. Just to name a few: Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, Grace Jackson and Veronica Campbell-Brown, Bahamas’ Pauline Davis-Thompson, Cuba’s Ana F. Quirot, Javier Sotomayor and Dayron Robles, among many others.

Indeed. Very good run. With ZH in the mix, we could get close to the NR. However, this year will have some tough teams competing in the 4x400. I think the top 10 are (not in any order) :
BAH
USA
JAM
SA
TRI
AUS
GER
BEL
RUS
JAP
T&T 4x400 team could pull of a medal in the upcoming champs.
Looks like GRN 4x400 might not make it to Daegu. Dont think there are any more competitions for them to qualify. Unless they attend T&T national champs.
I read that Zwede Hewitt is injured and Alleyne-Forte has opted to go to summer school
