It was not exactly the day the Lincoln Blue Tigers wanted Saturday in Day 2 of the MIAA track and field outdoor championships at Dwight T. Reed Stadium. The Blue Tigers got 19 qualifiers through the preliminary rounds and into today’s finals and collected a few points in the men’s and women’s long jump, but it was not the dominant day Lincoln wanted, especially in a meet at its home track.

No records fell at the 2021 Athletics Association of Barbados National Championship but local track and field enthusiasts were treated to some on-track rivalry and the men’s 100m final between Mario Burke and Kuron Griffith topped the list.
Coached by Gabriel Burnett at Quantum Leap Club, the 22-year-old Griffith is now the fastest man in Barbados with a personal best of 10.30 seconds ahead of favourite and former 2017 national champion Mario Burke (10.39).
The three-day national championship held at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex climaxed yesterday evening. Many had their eyes fixed on the track to see whether Griffith competing in the men’s 200m would complete the sprint double.
