T&T swimmers shine at US conference championships
Tuesday, February 23rd 2010
QUALIFIED: Shannon Duval
Trinidad and Tobago nationals had a successful weekend at various United States college conference swimming championships, where many were attempting to qualify for their various divisions’ NCAA Swimming Championships.
Shannon Duval, a senior at La Salle University in Philadelphia, qualified for the NCAA Division One Championships scheduled for next month in Ohio.
Duval won gold in the 200-yard breaststroke at the Atlantic 10 Swimming and Diving Championships, held in New York. Her final time was 2:17.35. However, in the prelims she achieved a time of 2:15.07, which was faster than the B cut of 2:16.83.
She also won the 100-yard breaststroke in an impressive 1:03.85.
Duval was her university’s Student Athlete of the Month in January. She represented Trinidad and Tobago at numerous Carifta, CISC and CCCAN championships over the years and was the winner of the B final of the 200-metre breaststroke at the 2003 Pan Am Games.
At the Bluegrass Conference Championships in North Carolina, Renee Pouchet attained the NCAA Division II B cut in the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events.
The junior at Limestone College, South Carolina, qualified for her first-ever championship to be held in Canton, Ohio next month, with personal bests in the events. In the 400-yard medley relay, Pouchet swam the opening leg in a B time of 58.36.
Fellow Trinidadian and Limestone freshman Nathania Pierre is set to make her NCAA Championship debut, as she swam the butterfly leg of the relay, which attained the NCAA B cut.
In her individual event, Pouchet placed fourth in the 100 backstroke prelims in 58.31 to achieve the B cut. She placed fifth in the final in 58.68.
Pouchet later went on to a blistering 2:07.24 to place fourth in the 200-yard backstroke final and also earned a B cut in that event.
Her Trinidad and Tobago teammate Donna-Marie Wickham had a difficult final year for Limestone, with this meet being her last one with the school. Dealing with a nagging back injury, Wickham had a season-best in the 100 (1:00.34) and 200-yard (2:15.33) backstroke, placing second in the B final and 22nd, respectively.
Wickham’s injury forced her to withdraw from being considered for last year’s World and CCCAN Championships, and contributed to her not qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the first time in four years at Limestone.
The Limestone trio have been members of various T&T national teams.
Pouchet and La Pierre are both members of Blue Dolphins Swim Club, while Wickham is a member of Sea Hawks SC.
Jules Graham, a senior at Howard University, won gold in the 100-yard freestyle at the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Conference Championships in Tennessee. His 45.88-second clocking was impressive, but outside of the Division I B cut of 44.37.
Graham also won the consolation final of the 50-yard freestyle (20.93) and placed seventh in the 100-yard butterfly (51.17).
Graham’s T&T teammate and freshman Zadok Isaacs also participated in his inaugural conference championship. He won the B final of the 100-yard backstroke in 53.91 and was third in the B Final of the 200 back in 1:58.96.
At the Sun Belt Conference Championships in Nashville Tennessee, Jarryd Gregoire, while not qualifying for the NCAA Division 1 Championships, had creditable performances for his University of New Orleans team.
He earned bronze in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.89 and also helped his team to a bronze in the 200 and 400-yard freestyle relays, and silver and bronze, respectively, in the 200 and 400-yard medley relay.
Gregoire also placed fifth in the 100-yard butterfly (49.61) and fourth in the 100-yard free (45.76). Graham, Gregoire and Isaacs have represented Trinidad and Tobago on various national teams and are all members of Marlins Swim Club.

Jokes / How fights start

How Fights Start.............
My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She
asked, 'What's on the TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in
bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And then the fight started....
******************************************
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped
quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded
to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I
pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the
weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I
cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and
whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out
fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
******************************************
I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and
slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just
get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't
believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me,
and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!"
So, I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?"
And then the fight started.....
*****************************************
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She
said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started...
******************************************
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social
Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to
verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at
home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home
and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my
curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough
for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social
Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten
disability, too.'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my school reunion, and I kept
staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby
table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been
sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating
that long?'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason took my order
first. "I'll have the steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""
Nah, she can order for herself."
And then the fight started...
******************************************
A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy
with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat
and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replied, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And then the fight started.....

Since the US have a policy of deporting known criminals back to their country or origin - many directly into the streets of TT, what happens when/if thse guys are found guilty in the US. Would they then send them back to Trinidad as deportees?

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've Heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power(or T&T football)?' and he smiles.
'OK,' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer
all eat the same stuff - grass - . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'
The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power (or T&T football) when you don't know shit?

What about Track & Field / Guidance/Help needed
« on: May 14, 2008, 10:49:50 PM »
Gentlemen, I would need some of your expertise very shortly. I have just accepted a volunteer coaching post (sprints & jumps) in a small community middle-distance club...only because the coach knew me as a football coach, + one of my lil ones want to do sprints...
I have no coaching experience or training experience for that matter, although I myself competed sucessfully at a Junior National level (trinidad & canada) many years ago. Moreso, I have inherited through their parents, when they learned of my acceptance, 2 exceptional kids, both 17 (of Trini parents), as well as, 7 others of their friends they have brought along.
1 of them is top 3 long jumper in the province for high schools, and the other, is..get this, number 1 in all highschools(actually,the HS finals are today, so that might change), anyway as of now he is #1 in 100,200,400,400 H & 800. He has so far been training on his own, as he is also all Provincial In Football, Basketball and Soccer..Plus he is a Straight A student, and in the school band...His only issue is he is a bobcats fan, and not a Raptor.
..nb: he is a good friend as well..
Could someone give me some direction, guidance as to how I can help these kids. I have some ideas, but do not really want to waste time experimenting, while I learn the coaching aspects. I would appreciate some direction to usefull books or sites where I can pick up some proper learning habits as well as technical training quickly, as I don't want to let the kids down (never done that yet, but that was with football).
The bigger clubs are to distanced for them, especialy with their wide range of activities at present, though they are willing to give me full co-operation and participation in setting up our training schedule.
All serious suggestions would be appreciated and considered. Thanks in advance.
ps: as of next week they all would be doing distance and fitness training with the club's regular distance coach (only 2x/wk). i would be starting the sprint and jumping program the 2nd week of June.

Football / Govt kicks $3.75m in T&T Pro League.
« on: October 30, 2007, 09:03:35 PM »
Govt kicks $3.75m in T&T Pro League.
By: Nigel Simon (Guardian).[/size]
The T&T Pro League through its chief executive officer Dexter Skeene, was presented with a cheque for $3.75 million to cover its prize distribution for the 2007 season as well as its administrative cost and day to day operations by Roger Boynes, the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, yesterday. The presentation was made at the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, head office Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain.
In handing over the cheque, Boynes stated that the monetary support would contribute significantly to establishing the league on sound financial footing for the future and it is expected that absolute support for the Pro League by the Government will continue to decrease as the league becomes more self-sustaining and viable.
The $3.75 million to the T&T Pro League by Government brings its total financial support to the local professional league from 2003 to 2007, to $11.208 million. Boynes then heaped praises on Skeene and his organisation and stated, “T&T Pro League continues to operate a successful professional football league with support from the Government, as well as corporate sponsors.”
“The Pro League plays a vital role in the employment of over 2,500 persons in varying capacities, with high risk youth among them while the league has also provided socio-economic benefits to the communities in which the teams operate by encouraging young people to engage in social activities,” he added.
“In keeping with the plans of the Government Boynes said the T&T Pro League is an endorsement of the their vision for T&T in its efforts to accelerate the sports tourism sector by inviting international teams to visit this country and welcoming non-T&T nationals as players within the league.
With regards to the development of youth the minister lauded the T&T Pro League who he said is a major promoter of youth competitions, since each of the clubs must field three youth teams in the Under-15, Under-17 and Under-13 age groups.
He said that based on the youth league’s organised by the Pro League it was no surprise that the national Under-17 team that played at the Fifa Under-17 World Cup in Korea, in August comprised players from these participating clubs.
“The youth competitions serve as a foundation for the development of football and the pursuit of excellence.”
The Minister of Sport also noted the important role of the local professional league to the national football team.
“It was very evident during the recent Concacaf Gold Cup in the USA as the national team for that competition comprised of players exclusively from the T&T Pro League, which augurs well for the league’s reputation. In closing Boynes applauded the league for understanding its importance to T&T and emphasised that Government will continue to give support.
A gleeful Skeene noted that yesterday was a very important day for football and particularly the youth.
Skeene, a former national player himself firstly thanked God, and then the Government for its support for the last four years and for understanding its vision.
“Because of the T&T Pro League many youths now have the opportunity to earn a living through football continuously at a professional level which will help T&T in the future as it seeks to continuously qualify for World Cups, both at junior and senior levels,” he said.

Football / Some interesting names here - Eddie Hart League
« on: October 15, 2007, 09:01:03 AM »
Valtrin, Maash prevail in Eddie Hart League
Garfield London - Trinidad Express
Monday, October 15th 2007
DFENDING champions Valtrin United and MAASH Internationals enjoyed well deserved victories in their groups as action in the Eddie HART football League continued at the Eddie Hart Savannah in Tacarigua recently.
On Friday night in the second game of a double header, substitute Mark Thorne notched the game winner for MAASH as they edged Paradise FC 2-1 in a Group One clash.
And prolific Dwight Crichlow netted a brace and set up the other for the champs to score a compelling 3-1 triumph over 1999 titleholders Kandahar United in play from Group Two on Thursday evening.
Substitute Thorne, who entered the fray in the last 15 minutes of a very competitive encounter, registered his priceless item for MAASH in the 72nd minute, hammering home a low drive from around the penalty spot, past a diving Paradise custodian, following a move the down the right side.
Earlier in the game, Marlon Warner gave Paradise the lead in the 45th minute after they had dominated a goalless first period.
However, MAASH started the second half purposefully and were rewarded for their play via inspirational captain Stevon Stoute, who grabbed the equaliser with a neat solo effort in the 62nd minute.
The win moved MAASH (11 points) two places up the table into fourth position from seven matches on the back of three wins, two drawn games and two losses.
Star-studded Paradise have now dropped from one-time leaders of the group to seventh spot on the 12-team standings.
On Thursday, prolific Crichlow netted items in the 10th and 54th minutes, and then set-up his striking partner Keston Zico, Henry in the 65th minute to seal the game for his club, before he was substituted with five minutes from regulation time.
Andell Allsop picked up a consolation item for Kandahar nearing the end of the 80-minute encounter. The current champs (15 points) have now recorded five successive wins after a slow start to the season. The good run has sent them flying into second spot in their group, just behind early pace-setters, Bon Air, on 21 points.
However, 2004 and 2005 champions Dread Fire's poor season continued as they were held to a goalless draw by newcomers North Hill, while Ball Runners managed a slim 2-1 over an aging SJ Crown United in game two on Friday night.
Brent Joseph and Dwayne Thomas did the trick for the Chaguanas-based Runners, while Dexter St Louis replied for Crown United in the Group Two contest.
And in the only game last Wednesday, Blue Waters continued to absorb the goals in their maiden EHFLÂ season as they were peppered 12 -2 by a fast-improving OPAC Youth Connection.
The main contributors for OPAC were Keon Wilson (five goals), Rodell Mohammed (three) and Dexter Joslyn, who netted twice to take his tally to eight goals for the campaign, thus far.
Joslyn has now joined Gorean Highley (Bon Air) and Hayden Mitchell of North Hill as the leading goalscorers.

Football / T&T prepare for Central American tour

T&T prepare for Central American tour
courtesy: Trinidad Express
Saturday, January 27th 2007
The Trinidad and Tobago national football team leave team for Panama City today for the first of two friendly engagements in Central America.
The "Soca Warriors," beaten finalists in Tuesday's Digicel Caribbean Cup final, also play Costa Rica on February 4. The squad resumed training yesterday, with standby players Christian Baptiste and Anthony Noreiga rejoining the group.
Striker Kevon Carter was also recalled, while US college-based players Makan Hislop and Keeron Benito were scheduled to depart for their respective schools and will not make the trip.
Defender Osei Telesford is also recovering from an injury, while Jan Michael Williams, Kerry Baptiste and Nigel Daniel were released to their clubs after Tuesday's game for CFU Club Championship action.
National coach Wim Rijsbergen said he hopes to at least have more training sessions with the current group but sees the importance of having a proper mix with the overseas-based players.
"Every time we have a group together, we try to see what their level is and with these kind of games, we can see if some of the guys can make the next step. Some of them can make the next step, some reach their level and you see whether it's good or not to play at the international level. If we see weaknesses then we try to work on it or we look for other guys," Rijsbergen said.
"We try play against international teams where we can improve these guys. Of course this is the same for every international game and tournament we will face and the next one is the Gold Cup. Hopefully by the Gold Cup we will have the right players in the right positions for the tournament."
On the subject of continuing training, the Dutchman added: "Most of these guys will go back to their clubs. Hopefully we can find a solution where with the local boys we can train maybe once a week. What will happen is they go back to their clubs and they go back to their old rhythm and the rhythm here is not good enough to make the next step."
Read this and ah not sure of the team going.
