Sealy, Colthrust treble winners at 2nd NAAA meet

Antonia Sealy of Point Fortin New Jets (PFNJ) and Aeisha Colthrust (Neon Wolves) led all top performers at the second National Association of Athletic Administration (NAAA) development meet at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo on Saturday.

Both athletes each won three events with Sealy, a student of Cedros Secondary, taking the girls Under-18 long jump (5.08m), shot put (10.82) and javelin (35.06).

The Pan American Combined Cup Girls Youth (Under 18) silver medalist finished ahead of Jeneil Morris of Memphis Pionners (4.55m) in the long jump. She defeated Rhonelle Nurse of Warriors (5.18m) in the shot put and another Warriors athlete Sherse Webb in the javelin (14.65).

Colthrust, formerly of Holy Faith Convent Couva, landed the women's open long jump long jump (5.23), high jump (1.45) and 100m hurdles (16.21) titles.

Last year's NAAA top U-16 track athlete Rae-Ann Serville (Memphis) sped away with the girls under 16 100m (12.41) and 200m (24.82). In the 100m, the St Joseph Convent Port-of-Spain athlete dominated the field, winning the the first of two heats and was more than half a second ahead of the next fastest, her club-mate Nicola Purcell (12.91), the winner of heat one. Samara Garcia (PFNJ), 13.07 was third.

Serville was even more impressive in winning the 200mby more than a second and leading a Memphis sweep of the top three places. Purcell (26.09) finished second and Arianne Lucio (27.15) third.

Serville was one of six athletes to record double wins. Her Memphis team-mates Kion Benjamin won the Boys U-18 100 in 11.17 and the 200m (22.97) and Janiel Morris crossed first in the Girls U-18 100m (12.43) and 200m (26.36), the Sangre Grande Secondary duo of Nathan King (Boys' U-16 high jump-1.25/long jump-3.76) and Anderson Subero (Boys U-20 110m hurdles-17.61/ 400m hurdles-1:02.03) and Ayele Joseph of MAP (Boys' U-16 100m-11.27/200m-22.77).

Benjamin and his Memphis club-mates took the top three places in the boys U-18 200m. He won in 22.97 with Marcus Purcell (23.16) and Jabari Samuel (23.25) following him to the line. Joseph looked smooth in his wins in the boys U-16 100m and 200m. In the longer sprint, he clocked 22.77 to defeat last season's NAAA top boys U-16 track athlete of the year Shakeem Mc Kay of Memphis (22.80). Kester Richards (PFNJ) 23.52 was third.

Richards was also second in the 100m (11.53) with Kern Cedeno (Fyzabad AS) third in 12.07 . Girls U-18 100m and 200m winner Morris missed out on a third title after she had to settle for second in the girls U-18 long jump.

Subero also missed on a third gold when he was beaten in second in the men's long jump (6.20), taking silver behind the winner Dwayne Herbert of Warriors (6.84). Earlier Subero was victorious in the boys U-20 110m hurdles and the men's 400m hurdles.
