Sanya Richards and Natasha Hastings
« on: July 03, 2008, 12:14:01 PM »
How I would to...  :-X ;D Forgot that type of language is forbidden on forums  :devil:

Sanya Richards is my one favourite track athletes even though she flopped on two big occassions.
I've been following the US trials via the USATF site and hopefully You Tube. I was looking at Richards' competition and I remember that Natasha Hastings is of Caribbean Heritage: Jamaican Father and Trinidadian Mother (Born in England though  ;D)

Does anybody know to who was the first notable athlete who was from the Caribbean or was of Caribbean Heritage to compete for the USA.

If not just mention anyone who you can remember.


Just off the top of my Head some Caribbean-American athletes other than the ones already mentioned, I'm not gonna try and remember all that I know of:

Inger Miller (Jamaican Parents)
Kerron Clement - (Trinidadian Born & Raised to about 14 or so)
Lauryn Williams (Trinidadian Father)
