By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Belize are off to a good start at the 12th Central American Games in Guatemala, with swimmer Davia Richardson advancing to the finals of the women’s 400m freestyle on Friday morning. Her qualifying performance this morning places her among the region’s top contenders as she prepares to compete for a medal later at 4:30pm the Aquatics Centre in Mazatenango.
Richardson’s progress highlights a promising day for Belize, which is actively competing in eight disciplines today: swimming, tennis, men’s softball, beach volleyball, judo, road cycling, fencing, and men’s volleyball. Belize face Honduras in men’s volleyball at 4:00 p.m. at the Gimnasio Teodoro Palacios Flores.
The Belize Cycling Team features Cory Williams, Oscar Quiroz, Jyven Gonzalez, Justin Williams, Derrick Chavarria, and Jaylen Briceño. In fencing, Belize is represented by Luis Preston, Jahiem Hope, and Christian Hope, coached by Frank McKenzie.
Out of the 16 disciplines in which Belize will compete at the Games, nine delegations are already present in Guatemala. These include men’s softball, men’s and women’s volleyball, tennis, judo, aquatics, fencing, cycling, beach volleyball, and athletics—part of the broader field of 55 sports featured at this year’s regional event.
