BV Islander, and the territory’s first IAAF World Jr. Championship 400m hurdle bronze medalist, Kyron McMaster signed off on a letter of intent with the University of Florida (UF) on Thursday November 16th at the A.O. Shirley Recreational Grounds. Kyron will pursue a Business Management Degree while furthering his athletic career at the University of Florida beginning August 2017.

At the brief ceremony, BVI Athletics Association’s President, Steve Augustine during his remarks mentioned Kyron’s great accomplishments as an athlete who works really hard on the track by putting in the time and effort, and most specifically his bronze medal at the IAAF World Jr Championship earlier this year in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He further commented “Kyron has the potential to make it on the world stage and we expect to see that happen along with him attaining his degree; two goes hand in hand.”

Mr. Anthony McMaster, father of Kyron expressed “He was born to run, since he started at 4, he never stopped, he stuck with it.” His signing is a great opportunity and exciting one for his son and their family. Mr. McMaster  made mention of Kyron’s coach Mr. Dag Samuel instrumental in his son’s achievement. Mr. McMaster further encouraged his son to keep focused and said, “While it is your legs that allowed you to reach this stage of your life, you must also allow your brain to do what it needs to do, education will take you through life.”

In Kyron’s remarks, he expressed how happy and excited he is to be attending the University of Florida. “I feel that Florida can get me to that level where I can become an Olympic Champion and a world record holder.” He was offered placement from approximately 7 other major Universities but felt that the University of Florida is the best option to further develop him in hurdles.

In closing remarks, Coach Dag Samuel commented on how very proud he is of his athlete Kyron for his great achievement. “It took 24 years to get an athlete to the University of Florida and I hope there will be more BVI athletes in the future,” he said.

Mr. Samuels stated that Kyron always wanted to go the University of Florida despite also visiting Clemson and LSU. Coach Samuels further commented that the staff of the University of Florida while looking at Kyron at the World Jr Championships in Poland, concluded that Kyron can be the next world record holder in the hurdles because of his rhythm and his cadence with the hurdles.

Coach Dag is confident and stated “We will have a national champion that is a world record holder in the British Virgin Islands within the next 2 to 3 years.”

Melissa Brunner and Reuben Stoby closed the Blenheim Trust 5K Series with victories on Saturday. The race started and ended at the A. O. Shirley Grounds.

“It felt amazing and it was a personal record,” Brunner said of her 22 minutes and 10 seconds run. “The training was pretty hard all season and I think the big race in Virgin Gorda last weekend just sort of primed me up for this one. But I was quite shocked when I passed Rose (Johnson) I thought for sure she was going to be on my tail right at the end. Took a few looks back coming down the home stretch and she wasn’t there so I sprinted the last bit just to get my personal best, so I worked out. So, I’m quite pleased.”

Stoby led the field of 41 participants in 18:42 and said he wanted to run sub 17:00. “There was a strong headwind, but definitely after the first mile, I realized Virgin Gorda (Half Marathon) was still in my legs, so I just decided not to push it any harder. And then I was missing Vincent (Fournier). Maye if he was here, he would have been able to pull me through.”

Stoby said he was happy to come out on top to end a tough season where he had his wins and losses.

“It’s always good to end on a winning note and I look forward to what’s to come in the 10K Series,” he said. “It was a good race. The conditions were a bit hot and the sun was out, but I was able to push it through and win fairly easily in the end.”

Final Results: Men. 1. Reuben Stoby, 18 minutes and 42.1 seconds.  2. Julius Farley, 19:11.3.  3. Guy Williamson, 19:43.5. 4. Derek Pettigrew, 20:27.2.  5. Zebalon Mclean, 21:41.5.  6.
