Star sprinters Ezekiel Newton and Tianna Springer continue to grab the headlines for all the positive reasons.

The pair was among a quartet of standout athletes who made hay in the brilliant sunshine this past weekend at the National Track and Field Centre, dominating their rivals to punch their tickets to the World U-20 Championships in Lima, Peru, next year.

Newton, Springer, Athalyeha Hinckson, and Che Wickham all surpassed the qualifying standards in their respective races for the prestigious biennial meet when the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) staged its National Youth and Junior Championships at the newly resurfaced Edinburgh edifice.
