Synthetic tracks not the way to go

President of the Athletics Association of Guyana Aubrey Hutson is not in favour of the government’s decision to build synthetic tracks such as the one above in regions 2,4, 6 and 10.

During Minister Nicolette Henry’s address to the National Assembly which was part of the 2017 Budget debate earlier this month, she said that: “synthetic tracks will be laid in regions 2,4,6,7 and 10 for which $210M is allocated.”

The establishment of the facilities will no doubt augur well for Guyana’s premier athletes, most of whom are based in the city and in Linden.
