Walk for Childhood Cancer Awareness, Virgin Gorda. Photo: Provided

It was a joint event with the Virgin Gorda (VG) Branch of the BVI Cancer Society, at Race #2 of the Virgin Gorda leg of the HLSCC Highland Spring Race Series. The walk/run fundraiser was especially slated to bring greater recognition to the Virgin Gorda Community regarding childhood cancer given that October is Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Walk/Run fundraiser
Over eighty persons walked or ran in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness while some concurrently competed as part of the race series. Competitors completed the College races’ 2 mile route while other participants completed a longer route taking them to the top of the Baths and back.

Race Director Stephanie Russ Penn indicated that it was a pleasure for HLSCC to partner and assist in this community event and help in the awareness efforts. The event was coordinated jointly with Debbie Bruce and other members of the VG Branch of the BVI Cancer Society.

“This event was another opportunity to re-enforce and further educate the community and the youth about one of the silent killers otherwise known as Cancer,” said Ms Bruce.  She urges greater participation and more serious action in the future to bring greater awareness to the community as cancer has no age and no knowledge of culture and nationality.

Collectively, Ms Bruce and Mrs. Russ Penn extend much appreciation to the children of the various schools, parents, the wider community and the members of the VG Cancer Society Branch for the support and organization of the event.

Central Arizona Coach Tony Dougherty, left and Eldred Henry. Photo: Provided

His Central Arizona Coach Tony Dougherty described the 6’5’ and 350 pounds specimen as ‘incredible.’

“For his second year competing in athletics and his first year in college he’s had a great year and he’s only going to go up from here,” Dougherty noted. “He has thrown the senior implement further than he has thrown the junior implement in the Discus and he’s going to be a world class thrower—no question. We just have to take him slow and easy. But we are looking for big things from him next year.”

Dougherty said he can’t put numbers on what Henry will do but at Central sophomores have blossomed from their freshman year every year for the last 15 years. “The fact that he didn’t ‘blossom’ this year, he’s going to go really big,” Dougherty said.

He says Henry is on time, respectful, attend classes and is a good student athlete and has some work to do academically.

Skill wise, Henry will be introduced to the Hammer Throw this fall and Dougherty said if noting else it will give him better balance while giving him a break from the Shot and Disc. Since they compete indoors, the Shot would be too repetitive and it will make his feet smarter and his body in moving and turning throwing the Hammer.

“He’s going to become a better athlete—more agility, better balance, better stamina so it will help,” he said.

Henry who ended the year with a personal best of 61.90m in the Discus and 17.34m in the Shot Put placed fourth and fifth respectively in the NACAC U23 Championships in Canada to end his first senior season.

“To my surprise, I did pretty good because I wasn’t expecting to make the adjustment so fast—I was expecting it—but not as well as I did because I surpassed my personal best in the Discus by a lot of meters,” he reflected. “In the Shot, I was expecting it to be a challenge to get up there but I got pretty close. Overall, for my first year with the senior implements, I did pretty good. Next year is to learn and improve from there.”

Having an opportunity to compete against professionals including at the Commonwealth Games, Henry says he now sees the amount of work he’s required to put in.

He described his Commonwealth Games venture as ‘the greatest experience of his life so far’ as he has never experienced performing before such a large crowd. He said there was an element of both anxiety and nervousness to get out and perform and he rushed the phases of his throws. But, he took away a wealth of experience.

“When you see those guys go into the ring, they are so nice and relaxed,” he observed. “They put that speed on and the Discus just goes out by itself. So now I know with I have to do to improve beyond them.”

KAMLOOPS, B.C. Canada—Eldred Henry closed his inaugural season as a Sr. athlete with a fourth place finish in the NACAC U23 Championships Discus Throw, followed by a fifth place finish in the Shot Put at Hillside Stadium on the Thompson River University campus in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.

After a mammoth final attempt that he fouled, his opening mark of 52.15m stood up as the fourth best measurement of the Discus Throw competition on Friday.

On Sunday, Henry placed fifth in the Shot Put with a best heave of 16.98m.

“I had a pretty good warm up and every thing, but in the competition first one pretty OK, but on the second one, I hit my foot on the toe board and after that, I couldn’t put all my weight to stop me,” Henry explained of the Shot Put performance. “I had high expectations in the Discus. The last one probably would have put me in second place but I couldn’t keep it in the ring. Now that the season is over, I have to go back to the drawing board, do a lot of dynamic work, drop a couple of pounds and hope I can come back for the next season and open up with a 65m (throw).”

Henry’s Coach Tony Dougherty said he competed but looked a little tired and backed off some of his throws.

“He was more aggressive in the Discus two days ago,” Dougherty noted of his Shot Put effort. “Still right at 17m, so not a bad day.”
