Machel Cedenio wins the Boys U-17 200m final at 2011 Carifta Games

How old is this youth Machel Cedenio?

Looks like he’s a very good prospect for the future at both 200m & 400m.
Could even be the next challenger to Kirani James over the 400m in the next couple years once he's put on the right programme and becomes stronger & faster as he gets to 18/19 years of age.

Don’t  think he is 17 yet or he might be this year, not sure but great prospect!!

Just found the info! Machel Cedenio only just turned 16 this month which means he is a full 3 years younger than Kirani James!
See this link: http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/country=tri/athcode=258418/index.html

I think in 3 years times if Machel is nurtured in the right way we could be looking at the man to challenge Kirani James for the World & Olympic 400m titles (assuming Kirani is holding both major titles by then). Who knows Machel might even be a challenger to Bolt and Blake and those guys at the half lap once he builds his strength and speed.

Was just at Commomwealth Youth and saw Cedenio. Just turned 16 and about 6 ft 5. Big strides already.

Good stuff!!
Want to see more great prospects like Machel Cedenio posted in this thread preferably with video footage of them in action!!

Jai John posted this video link in one of the other threads but I think it also belongs here!

Video is of John-Mark Constantine at the T&T Carifta Trials!
He won his heat easily but opted out of the final so did not go to Carifta this year!
Apparently he was injured last year and is now coming back!!

He looks to me to be a bit on the small side for a prospective top 100m sprinter but then again at just 16 years old he should still be growing and should be putting on a bit more size in the next couple years!
Btw this youth has got a rocket start, everyone else normally has to play catch-up after the gun!!

Remember this name

NICHOLAS DOUGLAS

The next great athlete to come from Tobago. He's training with the same club (Zenith) that Renny Quow, Kelly-Ann Baptise and Semoy Hackett came out of. Won Boys Under-17 100m Bronze at CARIFTA this year.

Won the Under-13 100m, 200m and 400m at the National Primary School Games in 2008 and claimed the same treble at Under-15 in 2009. Won Victor Lodorum both times.

Tied with Jehue Gordon for Victor Lodorum at the National Secondary School Games in 2010 as a First Former.

He ran 10.97 as a 14 year old last year. Turned 15 this March and ran 10.78 a week later. Has a 10.72 PB. Looks good for that Under-17 Crown in Bermuda next year. His coaches think he can take World Youth in 2013 and World Juniors in 2014. Kid is that good!

Many thanks Jason23!

John Mark looked good in lane 5!
He always seems to get a rocket start and then the others are left to catch up if they can!!

Looks like John Mark clocked about 10.6s in that race!
 
Next time please also give us the age group, official windspeed and times clocked by at least the first 3 finishers in the race.

And does anyone know what is John Mark's official 100m PB right now?

Many thanks

Many thanks Jason23!

Nicholas Douglas looked comfortable in lane 2 and officially clocked 10.85 in that race!
And with a PB of 10.72 and still only 15, I think like John Mark who is about a year older, Nicholas is another good male sprint prospect for the future!

Btw what is John Mark Constantine's 100m PB right now? Anybody?

Thanks! Ayodelle Taffe, the runner who placed 2nd in that race did not look too bad either in 10.82.
So we can assume that John Mark's 100m PB is currently at least 10.69.
However seeing that he ran that time in 2010, could we also assumed that he would have improved on that time this year?

Anyway many thanks Keelz for the update!

welll,,,in addition 2 being injury stricken i couldnt tell

Two other T&T U-20 sprinters to look out for in the future, Jamal James & Moriba Morain.
Not sure of their official times clocked in this race but based upon their qualifying times for that final, they should have both clocked at least 10.3x in the final!

Good prospects!!

[Socapro]

welll,,,in addition 2 being injury stricken i couldnt tell

That will explain it, JMC is just coming back from injury this year!!
Hope he remains healthy and injury free in the future, could be our next Ato Boldon or even better, you never know!
Many thanks!

Ok, thanks!
I paused the video as John was crossing the line and it looked to me like the electronic clock was reading 10.6. I guess it was reading 10.8 but the 8 looked to me like a 6!

T&T's trio get scholarships to US universities
Thursday, 17 November 2011 09:30 By Clayton Clarke, tobtrackmed@gmail.com

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - World Youth Olympic finalist Gabriella Cumberbatch is among three Trinidad and Tobago athletes who have been awarded athletic scholarships to American universities.
 
Cumberbatch was seventh in the girls 400m hurdles final at the inaugural Youth Olympics in Singapore in 2010 and will head out to Auburn University in January. The 2010 Carifta/CAC Junior girls under 20 400m bronze medallist will be following in the footsteps of fellow TT hurdler and 2009 World Championships bronze medallist Josanne Lucas who was an All-American for the Auburn Tigers. Cumberbatch was also a quarterfinalist in the girls 100m at the 2009 World Youth Championships before switching to hurdles the following season.

Sprinter Jamol James is set to start his studies at the University of Tennessee. St. Anthony College student was part of TT's 2010 World Junior men's 4x100 relay bronze medallist. James helped the national contingent to fifth in the medley relay final at the 2009 World Youth Championships. James recently competed at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara Mexico.
 
Meanwhile, quartermiler Deon Lendore will join Texas A&M. The 19 year old debuted at this year's World Senior Track and Field Championships in Daegu, South Korea, running in the men's 4x00m heats.
 
Leondore also copped double silver (400/4x400) at the 2011 Pan American Junior Championships in Miramar Florida. He also anchored TT to fifth in the medley relay final at the 2009 World Youth Champs. The Queen's Royal College student also was second in the Carifta Boys under 20 400m final behind Kirani James (Grenada) who clocked 45.02. He was a semifinalist at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Canada.
 
GABRIELLA CUMBERBATCH (St. Joseph Convent-Port of Spain/Memphis Pioneers)
PB: 100m (11.86/+1.0), 200 (24.18/-0.4), 400m H-59.24)
 
JAMOL JAMES (St. Anthony College/Queen Royal College/Memphis Pioneers
PB: (100m 10.38/+1.8.), 200 (21.25)
 
DEON LENDORE (Queen Royal College/Abilene Widcats)
PB: 400 (46.50)
