Kevona Davis, the most outstanding athlete at the recent ISSA/Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Athletics Championships, has withdrawn from Jamaica’s Carifta Games team because of injury.

Davis, a double champion at the Carifta Trials in early March, has pulled out due to a sore hamstring she suffered while at Champs 2018.

The situation was confirmed by Michael Dyke, coach of the Edwin Allen team who noted that sitting out the championships was the best thing for the athlete at this point.

“Kevona has been withdrawn from the Carifta team as a result of a sore hamstring. We were advised by our physio not to take any chance by having her compete this weekend,” Dyke noted “and as a result she won’t be taking part in the Carifta Games.”

Davis will now be absent from the Jamaican team which departs for Nassau, Bahamas tomorrow for the 2018 staging of the CARIFTA  Games which is scheduled to start on Friday.

The Edwin Allen star athlete broke the Class Two girls 100 and 200 metres record at Champs 2018 and won the Under-18 100m gold medal at last year’s Carifta Games in Curacao.

Her main focus will now be the IAAF Under 20 World Championships in Finland in July.
