A TOTAL of 22 athletes, comprising 11 boys and 11 girls, make up a contingent of coaches and parents from the Red-Line Athletics Track Club, who are off this weekend to compete in the Texas Tech Under Armour High School Invitational.

Last year, the club participated in the Texas A&M Invitational, but he said they are looking forward to getting some keen competition for their athletes as they compete against their peers in the high school invitational.

“We want to expose our athletes to a high calibre of competition and so we are taking our athletes from grades nine to 12 to compete in the meet,” said Moss on their way to Texas.

“It’s a two-day on Friday and Saturday and we have entered our athletes in events from the 100 to the 800 metres.

“We also hope to compete in one or two of the relay events,” he added.

“On the girls’ side, we expect some good performances from Bayli Major, Darvinique Dean, Kenneth Moss, Madison Moss and Nya Wright,” Moss said.

“On the boys’ side, we expect athletes like Clinton Laguerre, Tumani Skinner, Johnathan Fowler, Morgan Moss and Ezthia Maycock in the girls’ 800m.”

The trip comes just before the Red-Line Athletics hosts their third annual Sonja Knowles Track and Field Classic on January 28-29.

It is designed to allow the athletes to see exactly where they are against some top-notch competition that they would not ordinarily face here in New Providence.

“We’ve been going to Texas to compete since the club got started and so we are just continuing that tradition,” Moss said.

“We expect that our athletes will perform very well at this meet.”
