Awesome, the word used by World Champion & 2013 National Champion 110MHurdler Ryan Brathwaite to describe the new surface at the National Stadium after his Championship record performance in the 110MH event.  Results are available from last night's events (Click RESULTS tab above).

There was no false starting at the National Stadium last night as the AAB National Track and Field Championships came under the starter's orders. Based on the turn out of fans, the exciting atmosphere created by the announcers and keen competition on the track last night; one can only deduce that Day 2 is certainly going to be exciting. This evening starts at 4PM, spectator gate opens at 3pm. Marquis events for today, Mens & Womens 100M dash, 100M & 110M Hurdles, 400M...hmmmmm it seems they will all be exciting.
