It is early in the Pam Am games but the results are not encouraging for the V.I. Team.
The long jump results from Flora Hyacinth, short of her usual capabilities, left her in eighth place
in that event.
The three V.I. sailors in the Finn, Laser, and Mistral classes are hovering just above the bottom of their classes, four races into the eleven race Pan Am regatta.
One high point are the results for Chris Rice, who finished 5th among 30 shooters in the Free Pistol competition.
The other high point, off the field, was the team leadership of Flora Hyacinth and the exposure to international competition this event gives V.I. athletes said Dr. Cora Christian, part of the V.I. delegation at the games.
There are still events to be contested for the V.I. Team, including men's 110 meter hurtles, the women's 10,000 meter, all the equestrian events and more shooting and sailing.
