Anguillan
athletes go to the World Athletic Championships
A delegation of
five persons left Anguilla over the weekend to participate
in the World Athletics championships, which will be held in
Osaka Japan from the 25August –5 September. The delegation
is comprised of Kieron Rogers, (100m), Shara Proctor (long
Jump), Rollins Richardson (Congressional Delegate) , Wilma
Proctor (coach) and Emris Rogers. The world Championships
will feature athletes from all corners of the globe,
competing in both track and field events.
Both Rogers and Proctor have been sharpening their skills
for this event at the Regional development center in Jamaica
and at the University of Florida respectively. Both athletes
are very confident and intend on progressing through the
rounds and producing new Anguilla records. The young Rogers
wants to break the eleven-second barrier and set a new
Junior record, while Proctor will try to add some hard ware
to add to her NCAA collection. The athletes hope the
Anguillan public can follow the events either on television
or the Internet at
