Memphis Pioneers sprinter Kervin Morgan was in fine form in Bacelot, Tobago over the weekend, capturing the men’s sprint double crown at the Falcon Games.

Morgan, a Boys’ Under-20 200 metres bronze medallist at the Carifta Games in Guadelope two weeks ago, made light work of his rivals at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, first winning the 100m in 10.99 seconds.

His Memphis club-mate, Kelton George, was second (11.19), followed by Andell Salazar of Concorde (11.23).

Morgan then added the halp-lap (200m) title to his name, getting to the line in 21.39 secs.

Youngster Kanesha Spann was also a sprint double champion. The Morvant Jets speedster copped Girls’ Under-13 100m gold, easily beating Terrisa Mark of Warriors (13.89) and Geneva Pope of Palo Seco (14.15), who finished second and third, respectively. Her win was timed at 12.98.

In the 200m, Mark (29.98) was made to settle for silver yet again as Spann posetd a 27.87 finish. Afeisha Quashie took home the bronze medal (30.94).

Two-time Carifta Boys’ Under-20 400m champion Renny Quow of Zenith did what was expected of him in the men’s open one-lap race, posting a comfortable win (46.97).

Kelly-Ann Romeo won both the women’s open 400m hurdles (one minute, 7.20) and 400m (58.09), while Zenith’s Carifta Girls’ Under-20 100m bronze medallist, Semoy Hackett, won gold in the women’s open 100m (12.19).

Health Olympians athlete Shameyeal Simon (24.94) and Shermund Allsop of Concorde (22.57) were the winners of the Girls’ and Boys’ 200m, respectively.
