In their final competition ahead of overseas meets next week, the country’s athletes failed to fire at Saturday’s JAAA World Under-20 and CAC Games Departure Meet inside the National Stadium, producing average performances across the board. With the World Under-20 Championships set to begin next Wednesday in Eugene, Oregon, the best performance by a junior came in the field, where Joseph Salmon won the men’s discus.
