The Virgin Islands Track and Field Federation (VITFF) hosted the Carl Plaskett Virgin Islands Track and Field Championships on Saturday, June 8, at the Ivanna Eudora Kean High School Track, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
The goal of the event is to provide athletes, males and females of all ages, the opportunity to participate in track and field, to help to determine who are the top performers and aid in the selection of V.I. national teams for upcoming international championships including: Pan Am Games, World Championships, Pan Am Games, Pan Am U-20, NACAC U-18—U-20 and NACAC youth age-group championships.
Male and female athletes of all ages were invited, Including: club, college, school, professional, masters and unattached competitors.
The participating clubs were Cheetah’s Track Club (STT), St. Thomas Track Club (STT), St. Croix Track Club (STX) and Jolly Roger Track Club (STX) and Mary’s Fancy Track Club (STX).
The event had the look of an exhibition as the call for participants would produce a limited number to fill out the disciplines.
It was the first-time V.I. Olympian Laverne Jones-Ferrette had competed on home turf. She was in an exciting race in the 100m with Nia Jack, her heir apparent, which was a photo finish. She ran in 11.65 and Jack second in 11.68.
Yashira Rhymer-Stuart, 2018 NCAA National High Jump Champion and second in 2019, also competed at home for the first time.
The Smiths of the St. Croix Track Club, Malique 52.01 in the 400m hurdles a personal best…also won 200m against Brian Slater; Mikaela V.I. Youth Olympian competed in the 400m hurdles and the 800m; and Michelle competed in the 80m hurdles and 1000m — all are vying for the international meets.
As are Rodney Griffin St. Croix Track Club 400m winner; Nia Jack, Avery and Ahmed Joseph in the javelin and long jump, respectively. In addition, Jones-Ferrete, who organized the VITFF CAC Games Training Camp in Houston, Texas (funded by the Virgin Islands Olympic Committee and VITFF), is working on putting together a qualifying 4 x 100m relay team for the Pan Am Games.
The VITFF named the 2019 event for Olympian Carl Plaskett who presented the special medals with his image to the participants. He is the first V.I. Olympic track and field athlete to win an international medal. The event alternates between islands and will be on St. Croix in 2020 and will be named the Rita Hendricks 2020 Track and Field Championships for Hendricks, who was the first V.I. Female Olympian in track and field.
Note:
The 3000m championship will be held on the track in St. Croix on June 22, in conjunction with the Olympic Day Run
The 10,000m championship title goes to Eduardo Garcia, who, on Saturday, set a new national record 29:18.37 at the Portland Track Festival
The event was funded by a grant from the IAAF and the VITFF.
