Four athletes — including one sprinter — will represent the British Virgin Islands at the 17th Pan American Jr. Championships in Medellin, Colombia, from Friday through Sunday.

Comprising the team are: twin sisters Trevia and Tynelle Gumbs who will contest the Shot Put and Javelin Throws respectively. Eldred Henry — now a Central Arizona College freshman — will tackle both the Shot Put and Discus Throw. The Gumbs sisters and Henry, were all Carifta Games medalists earlier this season.

Shaquoy Stephens, the lone sprinter on the squad, is entered in both the 100 and 200m. BVIAA assistant General Secretary is the team official.

The BVI Athletics Association sincerely thanks the BVI Government, led by Sports Minister Hon. Myron Walwyn, for facilitating the team’s participation in the season ending competition.
