The pair of Brandon Parris and Reuberth Boyde would be St Vincent and the Grenadines’ representatives at this year’s hosting of the IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, USA from July 22 to 27.{{more}}

Parris will contest the 400m and 800m, while Boyde will compete in the 100m and 200m.

Theon Gordon, who is the coaches’ representative on the executive of Team Athletics SVG, has travelled as coach/manager of the team.

Thereafter, both Parris and Boyde will head to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, while Parris will jet off to the USA to take up an athletics scholarship there.

It has been a busy year for the two, as both attended the Carifta Games in Martinique in April.

Additionally, Boyde attended the St Lucia National Championships and the Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships in Morelia, Mexico.

The St Lucia National proved to be a grand occasion for Boyde who executed his personal best in both the 100m and 200m.

There he timed 10.50s in the 100m and 21.26s in the 200m.

Other outings for Parris included the OECS Invitational in St Kitts earlier this month as well as the Trinidad and Tobago Carifta trials in Trinidad and Tobago in March and the Hampton Games there in May.(RT)
