2016 Sagicor National Open Championships

[Socapro]

Lendore, Deon is struggling and what is going on with quow

They have both qualified for our 4x400m relay squad. In addition Deon can still run the 400m individual event if he catches form and runs the 45.40 OG standard before Rio comes around.

[Socapro]

Cedenio takes the 400m national title and Gordon comes 2nd in OG standard.
Deon Lendore secures 3rd place but is yet to run the 400m OG standard this season so he will need to run 45.40 or faster before Rio to secure the 3rd individual 400m spot.

Lendore has already run 45.31 on May 14, but it does seem his off season conditioning and strength work missed the mark.

I mentioned that something was up with Quow a month or so ago, he's never been off for Senior Champs, so I can only assume his training may have been interrupted by injury, or his legs are a little tired with age and years of constant racing.

Haven't seen any times to-date that would excite me about the possibility of an individual OG medal.
We should have finalists in the sprints but it looks like medals will come from the relays and maybe a Keshorn surprise.

Let's see what our talent produces on the pre-OG European circuit.

Thanks for that correction. For some odd reason I was thinking that Deon had run 45.41 back in May and forgot it was 45.31.

So Deon has already secured his 400m individual spot with that 3rd place finish in the National finals today.

I guess Deon needs to review his training regime if he is to get back to his old self.
I wonder who is Deon's official coach right now and where is he based for his training?
All I am aware of is that Bralon Taplin from Grenada is Deon's training partner and he was better than Taplin all thru college when they were there together at Texas A&M. Now suddenly this season Taplin seems to have Deon's ticket so it seems Taplin has benefited more from them training together than Deon has.

I believe Deon spent a good measure of his offseason in Trinidad then returned to Texas at the start of 2016, so the difference between him and Taplin is that period of preparation. Taplin's was decidingly better based on his improvement and the quality of his indoor season.

Liming wouldn't have him running 45's indoors.

His progress from indoors to outdoors however was minimal 45-46 to mid 45s, with a marked loss in speed endurance and strength in his last 200m.

It may be that the differences in his stint in T&T were (i) the quality of strength training facilities, drills and workouts (T&T vs A&M), (ii) off season workouts amongst similarly-talented peers (to drive each other when one may not have it on a given day), (iii) day-to-day coaching instructions (T&T vs. A&M).

Hopefully Deon can get things together between now and Rio he needs to be in 44.mid form by Rio if he is even going to be a factor to make the final or his only chance of medalling will be in the 4x400m relay.

I am also hoping that Renny Quow and Jarrin Solomon both get into sub-45 form by Rio for the sake of our 4x400m Relay team as we need at least 4 quarter-milers in sub-45 form to press USA and possibly Bahamas for a gold medal in the 4x4 final.

Domonique Williams should make the team. She is not far off of her pb. I think that might be a  pb for her. As for the others, they havent imrpoved for years. Hopefully this changes for the final.

With S Fermin and D Williams back together with S Mc Knight and J Belille they can put together a 4 by 4 team to try and qualify for the olimpics.
