Belize contingent heads to Pan Am Games

They are not expected to bring back the gold…or any silver and bronze for that matter, but seven athletes left Belize today to represent the nation in the Pan American Games being held in the Dominican Republic. The team consists of Michael Aguilar, Leonard Arnold, Orson Elrington, Patrick Fuller, Jayson Jones, David Sanchez and Tricia Flores. They are accompanied by Chief of Mission, Yolanda Fonseca, Coach Ernest Morris, and Official Josephine Flowers. The Pan American Games are second only to the Olympics in the quality of competition and it is expected that the track and field events will be dominated by the U.S.A. with strong challenges coming from Caribbean athletes.
