After a fourth-place finish in the Class One 400 metres at last year's ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls' Championships (Champs) Kingston College's (KC) Amal Glasgow is aiming to go all the way this time and help his team to retain their title at next month's 2024 championships.

At last Saturday's Youngster Goldsmith Classics inside the National Stadium, Glasgow clocked a season's best 47.25 seconds to take the Class One event and put himself in pole position for the win at Champs.

"I am pleased with my win and my form this season as I want to give my team quality points and a medal at Champs," Glasgow said.

Glasgow who, a week earlier, opened up with 47.95 clocking at the Queen's/Grace Jackson Invitational meet is hoping to stay healthy all season.

"I know that my coach is taking all the necessary steps to ensure I stay healthy as I really want to do well as I want to get a scholarship to an overseas university," the St Vincentian said.

Despite his top time so far, he knows his task will not be easy, with the likes of Jamaica College's duo of Devonric Mack and Roshane Symister and Maggotty High's Zachary Wallace who are just behind him in the rankings also looking to take top spot at Champs.

"I know that it will not be an easy task for me as my main competitors are also in good form, but like a true Kingston College warrior I am determined to fight to the end to ensure I do what is necessary to make my team continue winning," Glasgow said.
