Middle distance standout from the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) Malique Smith has been confirmed to compete in the International Men’s 800m race at this weekend’s Kares Engineering Inc. Boyce & Jefford Track and Field Classic VIII.
Smith has a personal best time of 1:51.90, which is better than any time achieved by the Guyanese middle distance athletes this year. He clocked the time at the Aliann Pompey Invitational in July, whilst winning the 800m title. He faces keen competition from Julius Mutenkanga, who is a Ugandan Olympian.
