(CIAA): The Cayman Islands Athletic Association will stage the 2013 CUC Age Group Championships at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex on Friday, 8 March starting at 6:00pm and continue on Saturday, 9 March at 9:00am. Caribbean Utilities Company, the main corporate sponsor of the CIAA, has supported this event for over 25 years, which has served as a launching pad for virtually all the Island’s leading Athletes.  The Championships will see competition in six age group categories: 7-8; 9-10; 11-12; 13-14; 15-16 and 17 and over competing in a wide cross section of track & field events.

Of special interest will be the performance of the Carifta Age Group Athletes, which consists of two age group categories i.e. Under 17 and Under 20 boys and girls. This year’s Carifta Games will be held in the Bahamas from 29 March to 1 April and we have athletes who are very close to achieving the qualification mark and we trust they will be successful in their quest.
Field events being contested are; Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Javelin, Shot Put, Discus, Ball Throw and running events will be 100m Hurdles, 110m Hurdles, 80m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500mand 3000m; the final events on Saturday will be the 4x100m relays and 4x400m relays.
