Monday, September 7, 2015 saw the return of the two athletes Sanadia Forbes and Colby Jennings who represented the Turks and Caicos Islands at the Sainsbury’s 2015 School Games in Manchester in the UK from 3rd to 6th September.
The athletes, although not being successful in obtaining a medal for their individual events, found the experience to be a memorable one, and said training in the cold was definitely an experience they will always remember.
Despite participating in the cold weather, something very unusual for them, Sanadia achieved a Personal Best (PB) in the long jump, having moved from 4.46m to 4.96m. According to Sanadia’s mom, one of the persons travelling with the team, Sanadia felt a little disappointed with her time in the 100m, but after competing in the long jump and achieving a person best (PB) she felt extremely pleased with herself. She now wants to concentrate more on her long jump and feels more confident in participating in other events in the future.
