Gordon, Ahye, Borel shine at National Champs

La Londe Gordon came from behind on Sunday afternoon to edge Renny Quow on the line in the men’s 200m final and prevent the latter from achieving the double on the final day of the NGC/Sagicor Open Track and Field Championships at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port-of-Spain.

Quow, representing Zenith, narrowly got past Gordon on Saturday to win gold in the men’s 400m final. Quow stopped the clock in 45.073 seconds, while Gordon representing Nike, finished a close second in 45.077.

Yesterday, Quow had a small lead over the field heading into the final 100m. Unfortunately for Quow, Gordon’s final kick was stronger and he came back to win gold in 20.38.

Quow won silver in 20.41, while Kyle Greaux of Abilene Wildcats took bronze in 20.59.
