Heartbreak for Holy Trinity’s Gibson in Boys’ Class 2 400m
Holy Trinity High’s Omarianho Gibson gave it his all in the heats of the Boys’ Class Two 400m at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships (Champs). But despite the 15-year-old’s efforts, he finished fifth on Tuesday’s opening day of the five-day event at the National Stadium and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
It was a disappointing outcome for the young sprinter, who had reached the semi-finals in the event last year and had high hopes of making the final this season.
