Jerod Elcock sped away with gold for a second consecutive week in the men’s 100 metres at the Maximising Athletic Potential (MAP) Sporting Club Invitational Games on Saturday at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella.
The Abilene Wildcats sprinter clocked a wind-assisted (1.0) 10.40 seconds to win the dash, bettering his time of 10.44 he ran last weekend in taking the top spot in the event at his club’s Track Classic. It was one of three medals won by Elcock, two gold and one silver.
At the Marabella meet, Elcock got to the line comfortably ahead of Jalen Purcell of Simplex in 10.51 and Memphis Pioneers’ Ian Thomas in 10.71.
Later, Elcock nabbed his second gold medal of the day, running the anchor leg when partnering with Adell Colthrust, Jahi Hernandez and John-Mark Constantine to lead Abilene to victory in 40.69. In second place was Uwi Track & Field (Tauren Christian-George, Chad Richards, Andrew Holder, Ayodele Taffe) in 41.12 and third was Point Fortin New Jets’ ( PFNJ) Onal Mitchell, Onil Mitchell, Cyrus Charles and Justin Maloney in 41.65.
The silver came in the 4x400m relay, where he linked with Justen O’Brien, Sheldon Mason and Jahi Hernandez, Abilene ‘B’ team, to cross in 3:15.70 behind winner Abilene’s George Lezama, Ohdel James, Nicholas Drayton and Judah Taylor, running in that order, to win in 3:15.20. In third place was Concorde (Jordan Pope, Daniel Gibbs, Orane Thompson, Shomari John) in 3:21.48.
Both Colthrust and Taylor also had top podium finishes in their respective individual events. The former also had success in the Boys U-20 100m, topping the event in 10.96 (-4.4w) over Concorde’s Omari Lewis (11.24) and Memphis’ Marcus Purcell (11.29).
Taylor earlier won the men’s 400m with 47.95, beating Alpha Athletic Club’s Tacuma Sterling (47.98) and James (48.69), respectively.
The girls were not to be outdone as Cougars athletes Karessa Kirton and J’Nae Bertete were golden in both of the events they competed in.
Kirton won gold in the Girls U-17: (2.5w) in a time of 12.03 with her clubmate Reneisha Andrews second in 12.12 and Kyah La Fortune of Simplex in third (12.38).
Kirton and Andrews were also part of the Cougars relay unit which also included Jorvan Westfield and Tyrique Meijas, who won the Mixed U-17 4x100m final in 45.03. Abilene (Alison Phillip, Jasiah Franklin, Mercedes Solarzano, Shakeem Mc Kay) placed second (46.79) and Simplex (Ja’el Zamore, Elijah Cummings, Kyah La Fortune, Thane Mohammed), third in 46.95.
Bertete sped to victory in the Girls U-11 (-1.9w) in 14.37 with Mahky Modeste-Nathaniel (Simplex) second in 14.81 and in third place, Nikita Gosine (Simplex) in 14.90.
