TEAM GRENADA FOR IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS  
ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Aug 5 – Four (4) Olympians are included in a six-member Grenada team for the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, Germany, August 15-23. The Grenada Athletics Association (GAA) has released the names of the team members who will compete in five events. The team also includes two athletes who have competed in the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki – Triple Jumper Randy Lewis and Neisha Bernard-Thomas in the 800m. The other members who are all making their World Championships’ debuts are Rondell Bartholomew, Joel Redhead, Trish Bartholomew and Patricia Sylvester. Lewis and Bernard-Thomas have been competing in Europe over the past few months and should be competition ready for Berlin. Lewis’ best effort in the triple jump for the year has been 17.17m in June while Bernard-Thomas clocked 2:02.02 at the Jamaica National Championships in Kingston in late June. Rondell Bartholomew, who only last week copped bronze at the Pan-American Junior Track and Field Championships in Trinidad, will be hoping to better his season’s best of 45.58 seconds in the 400m when he finished runners-up to Kirani James at the Junior CARIFTA Games in St. Lucia in April. Redhead had an outstanding outdoor season for Bethune-Cookman University in South Florida and clocked a personal best of 20.49 seconds in the 200m at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Arizona in June.
