It was a re­peat per­for­mance and a birth­day gift for Cougars sprint­er Reneisha An­drews com­plet­ed the sprint dou­ble at the Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ics Ad­min­is­tra­tions of T&T’s (NAAATT) sec­ond Pan Amer­i­can Un­der-20 Cham­pi­onships and Pan Am U-23 Games prepa­ra­tion meet at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Port-of-Spain on Sun­day.

The 17-year-old who cel­e­brat­ed her birth­day on Re­pub­lic Day (Fri­day) scored vic­to­ries in both the 100 me­tres and 200m dash­es at the meet in prepa­ra­tion for the up­com­ing U-20 Cham­pi­onships card­ed for next month in Chile and the U-23 Games in No­vem­ber in Cali, Colom­bia, in No­vem­ber/De­cem­ber.

An­drews clocked a faster time in both events com­pared to the pre­vi­ous week­end, speed­ing to the 100m vic­to­ry in 12.26 sec­onds from Jin­gle Camp­bell of Ma­son Hall (12.94) and Cougars club­mate Ka­res­sa Kir­ton, who fin­ished third in 13.08. Ashawn­tae James of RSS Phoenix was fourth with a 13.26-clock­ing.

An­drews re­turned two hours lat­er to reg­is­ter the time of 25.51 for her 200m suc­cess. Ma­li­ka Coutain of Point Fortin New Jets (PFNJ) fin­ished sec­ond in 26.50 with James, third in the time of 27.00. Kir­ton fin­ished fourth in 28.25.

Last week­end in the NAAATT's first prep meet, An­drews won 100m in a time of 12.61 on Sat­ur­day and the fol­low­ing day sped to vic­to­ry in the half-lap event with 25.93.

In the men’s ver­sion of the 100m event, Rev­ell Web­ster of Con­corde re­peat­ed his per­for­mance of the first tri­al when he took the event in the quick­er time of 10.84, com­pared to last week­end's 11.18. Josi­ah Pe­ters of Phoenix Ath­let­ics chased him home in the time of 11.01 with De­on­dre John of Stal­lion, third in the time of 11.03.

With Web­ster not par­tic­i­pat­ing in the 200m event, the door was left open for his club­mate Jor­dan Pope to win but Ken­nel Christo­pher and Josi­ah Ray­side of the Uni­ver­si­ty of T&T (UTT) Pa­tri­ots had oth­er ideas.

Christo­pher reg­is­tered the time of 21.99 to win from Ray­side who was sec­ond in the time of 22.40. An­tho­ny Di­az of PFNJ was third in the time of 22.54 with Kester Richards of Ful­fill­ingath­let­ic Po­ten­tial in fourth in 22.61.

In the U-23 event over 100m, Cyrus Charles of PFNJ was first, in the time of 11.17. He fin­ished ahead of the Stal­lion ath­lete Mark Hamil­ton who reg­is­tered the time of 11.20 with Zion Charles of Ful­fill­ingath­let­ic in third in the time of 11.40.

Over on the field, in the U-20 women's dis­cus throw, Bri­an­na Per­cy of To­ba­go Fal­cons beat her team­mate Alle­sha Lind­say by .05 of a me­tre when she post­ed a dis­tance of 35.05 me­tres.

Alle­sha Lind­say was gold­en in the U-20 shot put event when she land­ed the ob­ject 11.20m. She was ahead of Jinell Camp­bell, whose best ef­fort was 11.06m. Per­cy was third with her ef­fort of 10.50m.

Di­az was the win­ner in the men’s U-20 javelin event with his best throw mea­sur­ing 60.55m. In sec­ond place was Nathaniel Mathu­ra (El Do East Sec­ondary) with 60.30m.

An­son Moses of To­ba­go Fal­cons, the lone ath­lete in the U-23 men's javelin event, threw the spear 51.21m.

In the men’s U-20 long jump, Aaron An­toine of Neon Wolves won with 7.15m, in sec­ond place was Savion Joseph of UTT Pa­tri­ots with 6.96m and in third, Jean-Jon Math­ews of Health Olympians with a 6.13m-mark.
