Cain whips all comers in South/Central aerobics

NICOLE CAIN emerged the champion of the South/Central Zone, first qualifier of the Caribbean Aerobics Championships 2 yesterday at the Central Indoor Sports Complex at Chaguanas.

She beat a field of 52 competitors in a routine lasting 83 minutes. Second was Marlon Maquis with Roger Hazard in third place. According to Chief Judge David Benjamin this year there is an increase in quality and a vast improvement from last year. This has made it harder on the judges to make their decisions, he said.

Cain has qualified for the grand finals of the championships to be held at the Jean Pierre Complex, Mucurapo and will be joined by 45 other participants from the zone to compete against qualifiers from the North/East and Tobago Zones. The North/East leg will run next Saturday, with the team competition on May 17. Tobago will be eager to make into the final and will get their chance on May 18. The organisers are aiming to have at least 100 local participants for the final to compete against the best from several Caribbean countries.
