THE Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) made the decision late last night to rescind the threemonth suspension of Grand Bahama sprinter Terrence Jones.

The national champion was issued a letter detailing his team infractions and subsequent suspension on July 31 following competition at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Association (NACAC) under-18 and under-23 championships.

“Junkasue” to life, there will be a competition hosted for kids 14 years and older from August 7 to Sept 16.

The first place winner will receive a cash prize of $3,500, second place receives $2,000 and third place will earn $1,000.

Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Mario Bowleg said it is a privilege to see the World Athletics Relays back to the Bahamian shores.

“This administration understands the exposure that sports can bring to this country and what events such as this will bring also with its economic boost, so we are looking forward to a great time…the road to paradise begins in The Bahamas,” Bowleg said.
