CUC meet vital for CARIFTA hopefuls

The Cayman Islands Athletic Association is holding the CUC 2014 National Youth & Junior Championships next week, and for the top athletes it is a great chance to qualify for the CARIFTA championships. 

The two meets are at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex on April 4 at 6 p.m. and on April 5 at 4 p.m. The meet, which will be used as a qualifier for the CARIFTA championships in Martinique over Easter, is sponsored by Caribbean Utilities Company.  

This event has been staged by CUC for more than 25 years and is one of the major meets on the calendar.  

With the Inter-Primary and Inter-Secondary Track & Field Championships looming, the organizers are expecting plenty of entrants.

There are some athletes who are very close to achieving the qualification mark, including Tahj Lewis and Tiffany Cole, and this meet could secure their berth. Registration is open to various age groups.
