WHO SAID AGE is just another number?

Don’t tell that to Akayla Morris or Ashlee Lowe who have missed out on making the Barbados Carifta Games team announced yesterday because they are too young. Morris, an all-round athlete, is a student of The Lodge School, and sprinter Lowe represents Combermere.

The strict age-limit has been implemented by organisers of the Games to be held in St Kitts-Nevis over the Easter weekend.

This was disclosed by president of the Athletics Association of Barbados (AAB), Catherine Jordan, who was replying to a query by the media about their absence from the 26 member squad announced on Thursday. (EZS)
