THE Star Trackers Track Club’s 2023 Star Performers Track and Field Classic on Saturday produced three qualifying performances on the field in the same event, despite the inclement weather that forced officials to cut short the meet at the Thomas A Robinson Track and Field Stadium.

Before the meet was halted, Kamera Strachan led a 1-2-3 sweep of the girls under-17 javelin as she was joined by Taysha Stubbs and Dior-Rae Scott, who all surpassed the standard of 35.35 metres for the games, scheduled for April 7-11 at the TAR National Stadium.

Strachan, who moved up to the under-20 girls division in previous meets to qualify for the Penn Relays as a member of the St Augustine’s College Big Red Machine, won the event with 43.50m, followed by Stubbs with 39.90m and Scott with 38.25.
