An IAAF World Championships berth, one year’s bragging rights and cash incentives will all be up for grabs this weekend when the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) stages its flagship National Senior Championships.

According to President of the association, Aubrey Hutson, athletes will be getting into the blocks at 10:00 hours during the two-day championships as they look to scorch the rubber at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

Hutson added that “one of the most looked forward to events on the AAG’s calendar” will attract quite a number of overseas-based Guyanese looking to qualify for the ‘Worlds’ since the meet will be a qualifier. The 17th edition of the IAAF World Championships is scheduled to be held from September 27 to October 6, 2019 in Doha, Qatar.
