(PLTM) - Raw Skillz Track Club athlete, Shaniyah Caul has been granted a full 4 year Track and Field scholarship at the Farleigh Dickinson University.

The BVI Athletic Association (BVIAA) said that she is the first athlete from her club to attain such an achievement.

“Firstly, I would like to thank the Most High for blessing me with this opportunity. Secondly, I want to thank my coach, Coach Redz for sticking with me through the tough journey because seeing me for hours, six days a week, one has to be mentally strong,” Shaniyah said.

She added, “I thank him for not giving up on me and always supporting me because I couldn’t have done it without him. I also want to thank my parents and families for sticking with me through this process and making things possible, and to all my supporters I want to say thank you.”

Meanwhile, Erwin Telemaque, known as Coach Redz of Raw Skillz Track Club, recalled letting each of his athletes know, “If you want it as much as you need the air you breathe, you will get it.”

Telemaque, who coaches Ms. Caul said especially during practice, he drills into his athletes that, “strength comes from overcoming the things you thought you could not do, your body won’t go where your mind does not let it go.”

Meanwhile, Xiomara ‘Gia’ Malone of Fast Lane Track Club leaped a distance of 5.27m to surpass BVI’s Carifta Games qualifying standard of 5.25m in the long jump. She has already qualified in the 100m hurdles and high jump.
