A VERY close finish in the 100 metres

In Friday’s meet, two athletes stood out despite not winning any titles. Shanice Sam and Angelique Shermon of Blue House were examples of competing despite the odds. Sam, born with a slight deformity which prevented her from running at the same speed as her competitors, nevertheless finished the races in which she competed.

Shermon, who was mistaken for a teacher anchored the Blue House senior team pushing herself to the limit and in the process ensuring that team won the senior girls 4X100-m relay and was mobbed by team-mates at the end of the race.
