Young Demetrie Meyers Visits His Home

Demetrie Meyers made himself known not only regionally but internationally for winning not one but two gold medals at the recent 50th CARIFTA Games that was held in Nassau, Bahamas. Young Meyers who is only 14 years old of age won the U-17 1,500 and 3,000 meters. He has won the heart of this nation.

He was met by Minister of Youth, Sports, and Transport Hon. Rodwell Ferguson, Minister of State Hon. Gilroy Usher, and other members of the Belize Athletic Association.

The young gold medalist arrived in the country on Friday, April 14, 2023, to the cheers of fans and supporters of all ages for a job well done in representing Belize. Meyers now making his own history in the sport of Track and Field as Gold Medalist.

His response to a question posed by a reporter, “Have you always had this sense of confidence about you?” he stated, “I feel amazing. It is really an honor to be representing not only Belize but representing the people of Belize it is, I feel really proud of myself, and I feel I honor Belize really well and I have more to come next year.”

He went on to state, “I wouldn’t say this sense of confidence, but I have al- ways been motivated to try and compete because I wouldn’t say I would be scared to compete against anybody. I just feel confident and up to the challenge to do my best. I think, cause my dad has said before that out of all his cousins he was the least talented, so I think there is much more talent in Belize just sitting here not being used and if we use it properly there is a lot of great more to come.”

Rodwell Ferguson, Minister of Youth, Sports, and Transport, “It is important for the country of Belize. Demetrie is only fourteen years old. So, he has a very long way to go. And I want to give his father kudos for giving him all the time and effort to make sure he reached this stage. Last year he won silver medal at the CARIFTA games, this year he came back with two gold medals. So that is an important milestone for the country of Belize and I think all Belizeans just applaud him for the great effort and gold under the Belizean flag.”

Young Meyers then participated in a small motorcade through the streets of Belize City. Followed by a small handing-over ceremony was held at the National Sports Council’s office where he received a check for two thousand dollars, land documents for a parcel of land, and a gift from the Belize Tourism Board. We wish young Mr. Meyers the best in his future endeavors.
