The Jamaicans who are currently positioned sixth in the medal table with 32 medals, will be looking to add to this tally and are expected to feature in four finals today.

At this point, the Jamaicans have so far secured 12 gold medals, eight silver and 12 bronze medals.

Former Edwin Allen and Munro College middle-distance standout Aldwyn Sappleton will face the starter in the finals of the men’s 800m after he secured his spot with a 1:49.44 run for second place in his semi-final on Tuesday. The Olympian and World Junior relay champion will however have to run closer to his 1:46.82 personal best, if he is to challenge for a podium spot in today’s final.

Four-time national champion Wilbert Walker will be setting his sights on a medal in the men’s triple-jump finals, which also gets under way later today.

Walker has already posted his personal best this season; leaping 16.76m on his way to winning the national title earlier this summer, and will be looking to add a CAC medal to his credits.

Finals

Jamaica’s female team will run out of lane five in the finals of the event, which is being contested as a straight finals, but the men will run out of lane five in the first of two semi-finals earlier.

Maurice Smith will actually be the first Jamaican in action as he gets going with the first five events in the men’s decathlon, with the 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 500m, all scheduled to be completed today.

The 2007 World Championships silver medalist will contest the remaining five disciplines in the decathlon tomorrow; 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and the 1500m.

Turner breezes enters into semi-finals in Barcelona

Filed under: Athletic store — admin @ 6:54 am

Laura Turner cruised into the semi-finals of the women’s 100m at the European Athletics Championships in Barcelona.

Turner finished second in her heat behind Anna Gurova, clocking a time of 11.45seconds, some way off her personal best of 11.11 set earlier this season – the second fastest time in Europe this year.

“It was nice and comfortable, it was all about just qualifying for the semi-finals, so job done,” she said. “The real stuff starts tomorrow.”

Hatti Dean booked her place in the final of the women’s 3000 metre steeplechase with a bravely run race, finishing in a time of 9:46.43. Dean led for much of the contest, but was just pipped to the line by Poland’s Wioletta Frankiewicz and Yuliya Zarudneva of Russia.

Ireland’s Fionnuala Britton progressed as one of four fastest qualifiers, but it was heartbreak for Barbara Parker, who missed out after finishing tenth in her heat in a time of 10:20.99.

In the women’s 20km walk, Russia completed a clean sweep, with Olga Kaniskina heading home team-mates Anisya Kirdyapkina and Vera Sokolova. Britain’s Jo Jackson finished 10th in a time of 1:33:33.

young movements in place for River Cities track team

Filed under: athletics shop — Tags: athletic equipments, Athletic store, Discus, hurdles, starting blocks, track and field — admin @ 2:32 am

River Cities has a large contingent at the 2010 USA Track and Field National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif., which began Tuesday. River Cities has 12 athletes competing in various events.

However, this year’s team will have at least one representative in every age group.

“We have kids in every age group, and that’s a first for us,” Plaza said. “We are very proud of them.”

Youth is the team’s strong suit, and leading that group is 10-year-old Christian Daniels. He will compete in the 9-10-year-old age group in the 100 and 200 meters along with the long jump.

At the regional championships in Monroe earlier this month, Daniels edged Myles Mason by .04 seconds to finish in first in the 100-meter dash. Daniels cruised to victory in the 200-meter dash with a time of 28.15 seconds.

The team still has a crop of young talent that will be looking to break through, but Plaza is confident in his team.

“This is the youngest group we’ve ever had,” Plaza said. “Youth is the key with this group. The goal is to peak at nationals.”

Not to be outdone in the youth movement are two competitors in the 15-16-year-old intermediate age group — Hanaj Carter and Josh Lamers. The 15-year-old Carter will compete in both the 100 and 200 meters, while Lamers will run in the 110-meter hurdles.

Lamers won the 110-meter hurdles, while Carter took home two second-place finishes at regionals.

Overall, Plaza said the group is good and hopes the team peaks during the up and coming, while some will adjust to flying.

Falcon and Nelson on track and field

Filed under: Athletic store — Tags: athletic shop, Athletic store, athletics, track and field — admin @ 11:09 pm

Tall City Christian Track Club's Miah Nelson, 12, left, and West Texas Track Club's Michelle Falcon, 11, right, are headed to the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics

Miah Nelson is a maturing track-and-field star, a lifer who competed on the national stage before she broke double-digits in the birthday department.

Michelle Falcon took her exposure to the track and field a little more than a year ago. A friend on the soccer team brought her to the sport.

Both athletes are about to take their talents to the national stage. Nelson and Falcon have qualified to compete at the 44th USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif., from July 27-Aug. 1.

Nelson had other plans.

Nelson — who won the mile as a Bonham Junior High seventh-grader last year — has suddenly developed a set of springs most distance runners simply don’t have. Three years ago, Nelson’s 800-meter legs carried her to a 16th-place finish in her first national appearance.

Falcon, 11, qualified in the high jump.

But her ability to rise to the occasion came out of nowhere. At this time last year, Falcon and a soccer teammate decided to try out track.

Turns out that Falcon, a seventh-grader at Ector, has found her sport.

“We only started last summer,” said Rudy, her father. “I never expected her to get to this level.”

Falcon had run track during her days in elementary school.

Competing during the summer, though, was a completely different world. For the first time, Falcon gave high jump a try, and she came through at the Region 12 meet to tie for second place and a qualifying spot.

KAYLA Wilson is a young girl on the go

Filed under: Athletic store, athletic goods, athletic supply, athletics equipment — Tags: athletic equipments, Athletic store, cheap athletic equipments, soccer training equipments, track and field — admin @ 12:41 am

Junior Sports Star - Kayla Wilson shows her staying power

The Macarthur Chronicle kept the 10-year-old, of Appin, still for long enough last week to snap a few photographs after her father Andrew nominated her for the Junior Sports Star.

Mr Wilson’s nomination listed the little athlete’s recent achievements, which covered a gamut of sports, including cross country, swimming, athletics, touch football and soccer.

Despite Kayla’s size, endurance seems to be her thing.

Every year since 2008 she has represented the Campbelltown zone and sydney southwest in cross country. Last year she progressed to the NSW PSSA cross country championships.

She’s also been a member of Ambarvale Little Athletics Club since 2006 and has been the age champion every year, apart from 2007 when she was second.

She’s a long-time zone and regional representative.

Kayla also represented Ambarvale Little Athletics in its state mixed relay team from 2007-2009.

Off the athletic track, the Appin Public School student still keeps busy. She has been a member of Appin United Soccer Club since 2008 and also enjoys touch. She was a member of the successful Wollongong junior touch team last year and was selected to represent the association’s under-10 girls team at the 2010 State Junior Cup.

* Capital Steel Buildings at Narellan is the local sponsor of the Junior Sports Star awards.
