a dual meet with the American team in Miami There finished fourth in the BOO They had the opening but I had race later that night to I go I was disappointed about that and they did not have a closing ceremony EN She said the feeling of sickness hat plagued her in the Pan Am Games was also in the dual meet It was very hot In Miami and I was not feeling well I was running tight and struggled a lot The rack in Miami was very hard It was like running on a pavement track I really too happy with the track she said making the national team had coach that was pari of the national coaching staff While

because they could not afford to send a team to Los Angeles for the Olympics and the Games One of the hardest differences said she had to get used lo was the extreme heat Her race was at night which made the situation a cooler but going out for your daily workout became a real problem I go out during the day I went out one day and I t handle ihe heal Overall said the experience of competing was a worthwhile one There was over pcoplp on the team and it was like one big happy family When I wasn I running I go shopping or go lo the beach The people in Ihe Bahamas and I got a chance to see their

from the and practiced an of four limes MARIO per week for three hours a practice This year we practlc once a week for Iwo hours because many phycrs had work commitments and also because we had a low budget II costs to prac ice at night and we did not have the money to practice hat much at night he said One reason George town did not do well Burke said was the absence of catcher Larry Detghton for
