Abrams pips Cornette to 200m title in photo-finish at Senior Championships 

Olympian Aliyah Abrams, more known for her exploits in the 400m, was pushed to the line by young Juvonna Cornette in the Women’s 200m final at the Senior Track and Field Championships, organised by the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG).

Abrams clocked 23.418 seconds, followed closely by Cornette (23.598s), Keliza Smith (23.715s), and Athaleyha Hinckson (23.942s).

Abrams’s win resulted in a productive weekend at the National Track and Field Facility, West Coast Demerara, where she also won her pet event.

However, the Olympian would want to make the most of the Aliann Pompey Invitational on June 22 as a key chance to make the entry-standard time for the upcoming Paris Olympic Games before June 30.

The men’s 200m final produced identical drama. Shamar Horatio (20.697s) dipped just ahead of Noelex Holder (20.740s) for first, while Revon Williams (21.188s) was third.

More so, Aaliyah Moore (2:05.38s) won the 800m title ahead of Alika Blucher (2:32.41s) and Marissa Thomas (2:35.10s), while Nicholas Daw (1:53.222s) got the better of Devaun Barrington (1:54.159s) and Kosi Thomas (1:55.034s) in the male race.

100m record-holder Emanuel Archibald was nowhere close to his personal best of 8.15m as he won the Long Jump with a best leap of 7.77m, while the female event was won by Annalisa Redmon (6.03m) ahead of Natrena Hooper (5.64m) and Shaneka Campbell (5.60m).
