NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Sports Minister Mario Bowleg responded to rumours that this year’s BAISS Track and Field Championships have been cancelled.

According to a source the issue is that CARIFTA Trials are scheduled for March 15-17 and BAISS was scheduled to be held the week before which sources in the private schools believe is too quick a turnaround time for their athletes.

In a statement sent out by BAAA’s President Drumeco Archer and penned to BAISS President Rev. Perry Cunningham, it noted “it is our most sincere wish that you may find some resolve to this impasse, as it is our hope that every child that forms part of the conference has an opportunity to compete.”
