Dexter Lee, the one to watch
Jamaican Dexter Lee
Natoya Goule will be the first Jamaican on the track when the 13th IAAF World Junior Championships enters its second day in Moncton, Canada.
Fourteen Jamaicans will be in action, and after months of preparation, the young athletes will be hoping to better the performance of two years ago when they won six medals, including one gold in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
One event was contested yesterday, the girls' 3000 metres, which followed the opening ceremony where athletes from 165 countries paraded, including those from Jamaica.
Goule will be in action in the heats of the girls' 800 metres, but most attention will be focussed on the first round of the boys' 100 metres, as defending champion Dexter Lee will begin his bid for back-to-back victories in the event. He and France's Jimmy Vicaut are the joint world-leaders in the event with a time of 10.16 seconds, and this is expected to be a humdinger as both athletes appear to be peaking at the right moment. Camperdown High's Bernado Brady will be Jamaica's other representative in the event.
