Serrette: Crawford predicted Walcott’s medal

 

Serrette revealed there was a team meeting in the morning when women’s sprinter Kelly Ann Baptiste told everyone to forget the past and  go out and support Walcott and the men’s relay team. “It clearly worked.” Serrette described the team’s success as the best performance ever at a championships. “Some ten finals and we finished with four medals. It means we are doing something right. Let us hope we can continue this sort of planning and get more support for our programmes.” Serrette believes Walcott’s performance will inspire many in the field events. He is hopeful, that Walcott will remain focus. “He is very level headed and intelligent  with very good family values and we can expect him to remain focussed and improve, especially given the excellent work done by his coach,” added Serrette. “This is a red letter day for T&T and history has been made. He lives and trains in T&T, which must be good for sports. He has made the country happy. I hope people recognise how significant that is,” stated Serrette.
