The Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) has come to the aid of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) by providing a financial contribution to the team that comprises 18 athletes and five officials for the CARIFTA Track and Field Championships in The Bahamas from April 8-10.

In a release to the media, GOA President Godfrey Munroe indicated the AAG “has over the years been slowly but constantly improving on their performance at the CARIFTA Games.”
