Lead Ed­i­tor-News­gath­er­ing

In the 63 years since in­de­pen­dence, lit­er­a­ture and acad­e­mia have of­ten brought Trinidad and To­ba­go in­ter­na­tion­al recog­ni­tion, but no field has done so more con­sis­tent­ly than sport.

From the world cham­pi­onship net­ball team in 1979, to Hase­ly Craw­ford’s 1976 Olympic gold in Mon­tre­al, to Bri­an Lara’s world bat­ting record in 1994, to the T&T So­ca War­riors foot­ball team qual­i­fy­ing for the FI­FA World Cup in 2006, to Keshorn Wal­cott’s gold­en arm in 2012, it is our ath­letes who have con­sis­tent­ly forced the in­ter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty to look in our di­rec­tion.
