Throwers Meet Produce Two Carifta Qualifiers.

THE RC Athletics Throwers Club hosted its annual meet on Saturday and the first two athletes qualified for the 2017 Carfita Games.

They were Laquell Harris and Jordan Lewis, who achieved their feats at the meet on Saturday at the University of the Bahamas field.

The two represent the Blue Chips Athletic Throwers Club that was formed a year ago under head coach Corrington Maycock, now a IAAF Level II certified coach.

Lewis accomplished his feat when he won the under-20 boys discus with a toss of 45.81 metres. Harris did her mark in the under-20 girls discus with her toss of 41.31m.

Their performances come just as the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations prepare to kick of its 2016 season Odd Distance Meet at the Thomas A. Robinson Track and Field Stadium on Saturday.

While he was victorious in the discus, Lewis got beat in the shot put by Isiah Daxon, who was second in the discus.

It was the same scenario in the girls division where Harris won over Tiffany Hanna in qualifying. Hanna, however, turned the tables on Harris in the shot put.

The meet saw some other performances from Annamarie Oriaki, who dominated the girls under-14 division, winning the triple crown in the shot, discus and javelin; Dachye Stubbs was a double winner in the girls’ under-18 shot and discus as was Selena Brown, the older sister of collegian Serena Brown, in the open women’s shot and discus and Johnny Jean-Jacques won the boys under-20 shot and discus.
