CAB June Competition

Curaçao Atletiek Bond “June Competition” took place on June 22nd, at Sentro Deportivo Korsou (SDK) in Curaçao. Unlike previous CAB meets this season, this was a one-day event, so it was a busy and action-packed opportunity for our Cheetah athletes.

The Cheetah team was represented by:

• Daniel (U-15 Boys)
• Christopher (U-13 Boys)
• Brevon (U-13 Boys)
• Lishantely (U-13 Girls)
• Ju-An (U-13 Girls)
• Ny-An (U-11 Girls)
• Anhais (U-11 Girls)
• Maya (U-9 Girls)
• Matthew (U-9 Boys)

Although no physical/actual medals were awarded to event winners during this Meet, all results are official, and are therefore just as valid as those of other Meets. That said, the Cheetah athletes scored a total of 20 top-3 finishes: 6 first place, 6 second place and 8 third place.

A few highlights:

Daniel earned 2 3rd place finishes in the U-15 boys 1000m and long jump event. He also set 2 new PBs across his events, including breaking 5 meters in the long jump!
