AARON WORRELL’S mother is calling on Barbadians to support the boy who brought home gold.
The 19-year-old, who captured gold in the eight-event octathlon at last month’s CARIFTA Games in Curacao, is hoping to take on the decathlon at the upcoming NGC NAAA National Junior Championships in Trinidad and Tobago from June 8 to 12.
The decathlon, which consists of ten events, will see the student of The St Michael School taking on the pole vault, which would also allow him to qualify for the junior Pan American Games in Peru from July 21 to 23.
Sharon Worrell told the SATURDAY SUN that though Aaron was doing pole vaulting for the first time he had adapted quite well. (RG)
