NACAC Athletics congratulates its athletes on their remarkable performances at the recently concluded World Athletics Indoor Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland.
On yet another occasion, our athletes came away with the majority of the medals available, with the USA Track and Field (USATF) – 6 gold, 9 silver and 5 bronze medals – retaining the overall leader in the medal count.
Athletics Canada continued to perform in a manner that suggests the progress we witnessed at the World Athletics Outdoor Championships in Budapest, Hungary, last year, was no accident. Canada, finished joint ninth on the medal table with Bahamas, Dominica and St Lucia, each having won one (1) gold medal at the Championships.
Special congratulations to St Lucia’s Julien Alfred and Dominica’s Thea LaFond, on their gold medal performances, the first at a World Championsips at the senior level.
The Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton not only won gold in the 60mH but broke her own world record for the event which she had established a few weeks ahead of the Championships.
Cuba was 20th on the medal table with Jamaica occupying the 25th position.
The achievements of our smaller member federations speak to the fact that athletics is less about the size of the countries from which our athletes come. Continuing hard work and dedication matter.
NACAC Athletics is convinced that the performances of its athetes in Glasgow is a reflection of the continuing developmental pathway embarked upon by our member federations. This is a most welcomed trend and NACAC Athletics.
The NACAC Athletics members on World Athletics Council were on hand to witness the performances of our athletes in Glasgow.
