Out of many, won!
The Jamaica National team
celebrated two victories at the
annual Dr. Sander Invitational
Columbia Challenge, held at The
Armory in Washington Heights
on Jan. 26. Both of the island
nation’s women’s and men’s
teams competed in the 4 x 200-
meter relay race — coming in
first place.
Queens-based runner Satima
Chambers, started off the race,
making her debut with her country’s
women’s team — which
also included Verone Chambers,
Tovea Jenkins, and Titania
Markland. The athlete says
despite her jitters, it is always an
unforgettable moment to showcase
her patriotic expression.
“It was my first time there
and I was nervous because it was
a new experience for me — but
it was a great feeling running for
my country,” she said.
Last year the team came in
second place, after winning first
in 2017. For the men’s team, it
was their consecutive win the 4
x 200 relay.
Chambers said she felt an
immense sense of pride after
her team’s win — considering
that the team did not come out
with a victory a year before.
“It was great to see how
many people were happy to see
Jamaica win because last year
we didn’t,” she said.
Although she did not compete
in the previous meet, Chambers
was still thrilled to come out on
top with her winning team at
her first appearance because she
was expecting a tight challenge
against Team USA.
“I knew the U.S. was coming
in with a strong team and we
were really prepared for them,”
said Chambers.
Teams USA and France
came in second and third place,
respectively.
Chambers said she will be
making an appearance in the
Colgate Women’s Games Finals
on Feb. 2.
