The Honourable Parliamentary Secretary for Sports in Anguilla, Mr. Cardigan Connor, is in Beijing, China, demonstrating the Government’s support for three Anguillian athletes participating in the world athletic championship.
The athletes are Shara Proctor and Zharnell Hughes, representing Great Britain and Maurell Carty representing Anguilla.
Mr. Connor told The Anguillian: “It also gives me an opportunity to meet with the UK Minister of Sports and the President of UK Sports in an effort to get assistance for the development of a track and field facility in Anguilla.”
He added: “With the fact that two of our home-grown athletes are representing Great Britain…stands a realistic chance, and strengthens our case, [to receive some well-needed assistance].”
