Twenty-Four athletes and Seven Officials from Bermuda are preparing to take part in the Caribbean Union of Teachers (CUT) 13th Biennial Under 15 Track & Field Championships at the National Stadium, in St. Kitts for the July 24th & 24th event.
Joann Adams said, “Members from the BUT have been working with Track and Field Clubs to make sure that the athletes are prepared to compete”.
“Some of the Bermudian National Athletes who have competed at CUT Games include Gina Cann, Jarita Dill, Janine Scott, Raneika Bean, Vernae Ingham, Whitney Matthew, Brittany Pitt, Matthew Spring, Eulanne Douglas, Akilah Reid, Tre Houston, Aaron Evans, Deannae Lightbourne, Allison Outerbridge, Nandi Woods, Tre Simons, Tristan Francis, Shawn Herman, Jeneko Place and Dage Minors just to name a few”, continued Adams.
The Caribbean Union of Teachers Biennial Track and Field Championships was first organized in Barbados in 1986. The participating countries at the inaugural Meet were Anguilla , Bahamas , Bermuda , Cayman Islands , Grenada , Guyana , St. Lucia , St. Vincent and the Grenadines and host Barbados . They competed for the Jean Perisco Trophy. Barbados made capital of the fact that they were at home and won the Championships.
The success of the inaugural Meet led to a CUT decision to develop the Championships into a biennial affair. It was also agreed that the Championships would be organized by the Teachers' Union of the host nation. This extends to the host seeking sponsorship to help meet local expenses.
These Championships have been a breeding ground for some of the Caribbean 's most outstanding Track and Field athletes. Many have moved on to the CAC Age Group Championships, the CAC Juniors, the Carifta Games, the CAC Senior Championships, the CAC Games, the Pan American Games and, of course, the Olympic Games.
