The Hasely Crawford Stadium was awash in yellow and green over the weekend as employees of BP Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) turned out to support its athlete ambassadors who competed in the National Open Track and Field Championships 2012. The athletes included shot-putter Cleopatra Borel-Brown and track stars Renny Quow and Michelle-Lee Ahye, who were energised by the tempo of the Laventille Rhythm Section. Borel-Brown posted an impressive 17.98-metre throw for gold in the women’s shot put and Renny Quow took silver in the men’s 400 metres with a time of 45.60. Quow combined with Lalonde Gordon, Deon Lendore and Jarrin Solomon on Sunday to break the record in the four by 400 metre relay that stood since 1992. “It’s wonderful to be here and support our athlete ambassadors because now they are part of our One Team and have become part of our family. Even more than that, they are part of team T&T who will be representing our nation with pride and excellence at the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games. “We are here to let them know that from here to London, we are behind them 100 per cent,” said Danielle Jones, corporate communications manager, bpTT.
