Rodman captures Scratch Race gold at Easter Grand Prix

With 15 laps of the 33 laps remaining.

Rodman was finally successful in breaking free of the bunch, after his previous onslaught of attacks was futile. The Jamaican would lap the bunch with one lap remaining to cross the line with both hands punching the sky.

Jamol Eastmond of Barbados and Duvan Arevalo of Colombia rounded out the top three.

Earlier in the night however.

Trinidad and Tobago ace Njisane Phillip was definitely the star of the show after he captured the International Men 500m and 7 Lap event with his trademark burst of speed down the back straight.

In the International Men 10 Lap, Phillip began the “Trini Train” with one lap remaining.

however, the crowd was just too thick for them to pass safely with 250m to go. All hope for a Trini podium looked gloomy until the youngest member on the national team, Jabari Whiteman leaped out from the front and left all in his dust. Whiteman would finish at least five bicycle lengths ahead of Venezuela’s Javier Aguero and Keron Bramble (TT). The sole female on the TT team, Teniel Campbell proved her selection with a solid performance against some tough competition from Venezuela, Colombia, USA and Canada.

After finishing third and second in the 4 Lap and Elimination event respectively, Campbell turned it up a notch in the 8 Lapper.

With 250m to go, she accelerated and never looked back.

As Campbell crossed the line she punched her chest to celebrate her hard earned victory.
