Bermudian track standouts Arima Turner and Amaris Munya delivered a series of strong performances this weekend as they represented Montverde Academy at the high-profile Sunshine Showcase in Gainesville, Florida.
Competing at the Alachua County Events Center, Turner was among the leading figures for the Florida-based academy in the short sprints. In the Girls 60 Meters, she navigated a competitive field to secure 11th place overall, crossing the line in 7.79 seconds. The senior followed that up with a standout display in the 200 Meters, where she powered off the bend to stop the clock in 25.08 seconds, earning a sixth-place finish in a race that featured several of the top-ranked sprinters in the state.
In the middle-distance events, Munya tested her endurance in the Girls One Mile. Maintaining a steady pace throughout the eight-lap contest on the banked track, Munya fought her way to 15th place with a time of 5:37.07. The performance continues a busy indoor campaign for the junior, who has consistently shown her range across both individual and relay events this season.
For the Bermudian duo, the meet provided another vital high-performance platform as they build toward the major indoor championship season.
