over 1 year in TT News day

TWO-TIME Olympic medallist Keshorn Walcott has been named in a 14-member national team to compete at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Championships, scheduled for August 19-21, in Bahamas.
The National Association for Athletics Administration said the team will leave TT on Wednesday.
Walcott, 29, is coming off a fourth-place finish in the men's javelin final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. England, earlier this month.
Also on the national team is TT's top women's sprinter, Michelle-Lee Ahye who will be eyeing gold in the women's 100m.
Ahye will also lead TT's 4x100-metre relay team into action.
Sprinters Kyle Greaux, Eric Harrison and Jerod Elcock, fresh off a 4x100m Commonwealth silver medal alongside Kion Benjamin, will be going for relay glory again. Benjamin's absence on the NACAC team provides opportunity for either Akanni Hislop or Omari Lewis.
