The St Vincent and the Grenadines Junior 800 metres Champion, Handal Roban did not advance beyond the Men’s 800 metres semi-finals at the World Under-23 Athletics Championships in Nairobi, Kenya last Saturday, but he broke his National Under-20 record for the second time in two days.
Roban qualified for Saturday’s semi-finals by finishing 4th in last Thursday’s heat of the Men’s 800 metres to get into the semi-finals as one of the fastest finishers below the first three.
He ran Heat 1 on Saturday when he finished the race low down but in a new National Under-20 record of 1 minute, 48.37 seconds, faster than the National Record of 1 minute, 49.41 seconds he had set in last Thursday’s Heat.
