XLCR – Love, Riley Named in Jamaica’s Contingent to Doha

The Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) yesterday named the country’s team for the IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar. Among the 25 women selected to compete—including in the Discus Throw—is former XLCR Lady Eagle Shanice Love.

While Shanice has represented Jamaica several times at various international meets, this is her first senior global championship. In fact, this is the first time since 2004 that XLCR has had one of its alumni represent Jamaica at a senior global championship.

Shanice, who is entering her senior year at Florida State University, has excelled at both the high school and collegiate levels in her chosen event. We look forward to similar success at the elite level in the coming years. Congrats, Shanice, and all the best to you and the rest of your Jamaican teammates in Doha.

Meanwhile, the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) also announced that the country’s contingent for Doha consists of 30 women and 25 men. The athletes will be supported by a management and coaching panel featuring some of the nation’s finest coaches, including Excelsior’s own David Riley.

The World Championships will take place from September 27 to October 6, 2019.

Congrats to Coach Riley on his appointment. Wishing him and the entire Jamaican contingent all the best as they represent the Black, Green, and Gold at this prestigious global event.
