Aliya Drakes was once again selected, this time as the only female coach in the two person coaching team to prepare and manage the CARIFTA team for the Caribbean Championships next month in Jamaica. Aliya has quietly but rapidly become the country’s top female coach and is enrolled to do the CAMTRI Level 2 coaching certification.

Derek Daniel, President of XO was selected as the national coach to accompany two juniors to Mexico to the CAMTRI regional championships.

With a shortage of qualified Technical Officials locally Aliya Drakes and Leonard Birmingham took on the challenge and earned their Level 1 ITU Certification along with three other persons from Trinidad.

 XO’s Junior programme became a reality. It began with a 3 day triathlon camp and culminated in a triathlon race. Our juniors currently comprise of mainly Trimont College students, who made an impressive debut at the Massy Rainbow Cup triathlon and at the schools triathlon that took place in March 2019.  A heartfelt thank you to Trimont’s principal and now XO member Chris Chin Lee for his continued support.

President Derek Daniel received his British Triathlon Level 2 certification, the highest level of certification locally with only 6 persons in the Caribbean having that level of certification.
 

The Maracas Open Water challenge was truly a challenge with adverse conditions resulting in the race being called off for many participants in the 3,000m race. Despite that XO had its largest turnout at that event!
