Collins Breaks OECS, Meet Records
(21 July 2001) - Kim Collins of St. Kitts won the men's 100m in a new meet and Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States record 10.04 seconds Friday at the XVIII Central American and Caribbean Track and Field Championships in Guatemala. Collins, a 100m finalist at last year's Summer Olympics in Sydney, had run 10.13 earlier this year. It was a Caribbean 1-2-3 in the men's 100, with Jamaica's Julien Dunkley (10:35) picking up silver and Trinidad and Tobago's Jacey Harper (10:39) bronze.
Mexico's Rosario Sánchez won the women's 10km walk in 45:46, another meet record, ahead of Guatemalan Teresita Collado (47:36) and Evis Martínez (48:02) of El Salvador. Sánchez surpassed the mark of 46:29 established in 1993 by another Mexican, Eloísa Pérez

CAC Champs For Guatemala
(17 July 2001) - Athletes from the 35 member federations of the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation will meet 20-22 July at the Mateo Flores Stadium in Guatemala -- which hosted the 1995 CAC Senior Championships -- for the biannual CAC Track and Field Championships, a biannual competition for senior athletes. This will be the last chance for athletes from the area to meet qualifying standards for the IAAF World Athletic Championships to be held in Edmonton, Canada just two weeks later.
CACAC President, Victor Lopez advised earlier this year that the 2001 Senior Championships would be held in Guatemala. The several earthquakes and after-shocks that hammered El Salvador during the early months of the year forced the FSA to reluctantly hand over the Championships for which they had fought so valiantly, and a newly elected executive committee at the Guatemalan federation committed itself to the task of organizing these Championships with less than three months to go.
At the last CAC Games in 1999, Dominic Johnson of St. Lucia was named most outstanding male athlete when he won the men's pole vault at the National Stadium in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Spencer Medals In Hungary
 (15 July 2001) - 17-year-old Entrepot Secondary School student Lavern Spencer is the first medallist from the Eastern Caribbean at the 2nd IAAF/Westel World Youth Championships in Athletics, taking bronze for the women's high jump on Sunday. The Carifta under-twenty girls' high jump champion and Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States silver medallist, Lavern also broke St. Lucia's national record at the World Youth Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.
Ranked fifth in the world this year coming into Hungary, after posting a jump of 1.79m to win Carifta junior gold in Barbados, the young St. Lucian was one of three Caribbean athletes to make the women's high jump final, along with Jamaica's Shaunette Davidson and Trinidad and Tobago's Danille Prime. Those two ended seventh and ninth respectively.
The competition was won by Aileen Wilson of Great Britain, clearing 1.87m on her second attempt, a new personal best mark for her. Australia's Petrina Price, who had cleared 1.88m coming into the Games, made 1.81m on her second attempt. Spencer cleared that same height on her third try, gaining St. Lucia's first-ever World Championship medal at any level. Lavern travelled to Hungary as part of a six-member Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States and Barbados team. Her third major medal this year behind her, Lavern travels now to El Salvador for the Central American and Caribbean Track and Field Championships.
The OECS/Barbados team was led by Keith Joseph, representing the North and Central America and Caribbean region. Paul Phillip is head coach. Yvonne Williams and Vernette McDowall are the chaperones. Kineke Alexander of St. Vincent and the Grenadines ran the men's 200. Eric Mathias of the British Virgin Islands travelled with the team, but didn't make the qualifying mark in the discus throw. Two Grenadians, Densley Joseph and Nathalia Vincent contested the men's and women's javelin. Barbados' Desiree Chrichlow made the women's triple jump final. Janill Wiliams and Chet Gomes from Antigua also travelled to the Games.
