Trinidad and Tobago’s boys medley relay team will be seeking to win this country’s first medal at the 7th IAAF World Youth Track and Field Championships which comes to an end later today at the Stadium Lille-Metropole, in Lille, France. The quartet of Reuben Walters, Jereem Richards, Theon Lewis and Machel Cedenio advanced to the medal round after winning heat four in yesterday’s preliminaries.
The local lads clocked 1 min 53.32 seconds to finish ahead of Jamaica (1:53:66). In today’s finals set for 11.25 am (TT time) they will start out of lane six. The runners will be seeking to emulate the silver medal won by T&T at the 2005 edition of the meet in Morocco. Richards failed in his quest to make the boys 200m finals. The lanky runner was third in heat three in yesterday’s semifinals in personal best of 21.47. However, his time was the ninth quickest overall and missed on making the final by one place. CC
