BELIZE CITY, Mon. Feb. 8, 2016–The Belize Athletics Association (BAA) held its Cross Country Trial on Saturday, January 30, at the Roaring River Golf Course in Roaring Creek, Cayo. The results were sent to us last Thursday, February 4, by BAA President, Deon Sutherland.

We inquired about the level of participation, and Sutherland replied that it was “what you see there, sir.” He went on to explain that, despite “free transportation and food,” a number of expected participants from the BDF and Coast Guard declined because they are scheduled to represent Belize soon at an international event, and their supervisors “don’t want them to get injured.”

Below are the results in the different categories and the times recorded:

Female U-14, 2Km – Aaliyah Carr (10:10.09).

Female U-18, 3Km – Ashonti Carr (18:22.20).

Male Open, 10Km – Martin Flowers (43:47); Alexander Alvarado (44:53); Ervin Hamilton (46:19); Juan Santos (48:49); Shaun Bennett (57:41).
