CLARIFICATION

IT was reported last week in The Tribune that for the first time, the women’s 4 x 400 metre relay team qualified for the IAAF World Championships when the team of Christine Amertil, Lanece Clarke, Cottrell Martin and Amara Jones posted a time of 3:20.90 in the Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The qualifying time for the IAAF Worlds, scheduled for August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia, is 3:33.00.

However, this is not the first time that the Bahamas had a women’s 4 x 4 team qualify, nor the first time that three teams have qualified.

In 2009, the team of Amertil, Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie, Sasha Rolle and Shakeitha Henfield clocked 3:29.53 for a new national record to qualify for the Worlds in Seville, Spain.

In Edmonton, Canada in 2001, the Bahamas was represented by the women’s 4 x 100 and both the men’s 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay teams. The Tribune apologises to the BAAA and the athletes for the misinformation.
