NAAA blunder leaves Jehue out 400

T&T’s 400 metres hurdler Jehue Gordon has not been entered to take part in the event at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. A release from the NAAA yesterday said Gordon’s omission was an oversight for the Games which are scheduled to begin on Saturday. Secretary of the NAAA Allan Baboolal who is with the team in South Korea, described Gordon’s situation as an oversight and stated that he will take responsibility for the mistake. Up to late yesterday, NAAA president Ephraim Serrette, Olympic gold medalist Hasely Crawford, together with NACAC area representative Neville Mc Cook were meeting with the director of the competition bureau for the IAAF World Championships, Jun Kim, to discuss the possibility of  Gordon’s entry.
