A part of history
The inaugural meeting of the “Southcross Athletics” club was opened by Mr. Jan Westmaas, founder of the original Southcross Runners. He gave some history of the original club, and spoke about the years that the club was very vibrant (2002-2006). He mentioned Henry Gonzales, who was present. He described how even after Southcross Runners became defunct, Henry kept competing in races using the name. This act kept Jan’s hope alive that the club would be revived. Jan also gave a short description of the history of long distance running in Trinidad and mentioned Bruce Boyce who was also present. The meeting attendees were told that in 1983 at the first open marathon held in Trinidad, Bruce placed 11th overall while Jan placed around 70th. As road running in Trinidad became more popular, clubs started to be formed. Jan explained that he and his wife Christine, also a long distance runner, joined Athletics Central. After years of experience gained in this club, they decided to form their own club, and thus the original Southcross Runners was born. Jan mentioned some of the foundation members of the original club who were at the meeting, including race walker Hazel Tywang Maharaj and national triathlete Ancil Greene. He ended his introduction by stating that Southcross is back, that he would like it to be a club that is active and vibrant once more.
It was decided to use the new name “Southcross Athletics” which would include walkers as well as multi sport athletes such as triathletes and decathletes. The colours chosen for uniforms are either bright orange or electric blue.
Come and join Southcross, meeting every Tuesday at 6pm in front the pavilion on Skinner Park training grounds.
