Anguilla’s own Tri-tania Lowe will represent her home nation in Japan this week during the World Athletics Championships.
The talented track athlete will be taking part in the women’s 100 metres event during the international event that runs from 13 to 21 September in Tokyo.
Joining Lowe is a team from the Anguilla Amateur Athletics Association led by Kirthly ‘Cutty’ Richardson, lead official and congress delegate, a press release from the association said on 6 September.

“We are thrilled to have Tri-tania representing Anguilla at the World Athletics Championships and are grateful for the unwavering support from our sponsors and partners,” said Richardson.
“This opportunity would not be possible without the unity and collaboration demonstrated by the wider sporting community in Anguilla and abroad.”
The team will also be supported by coach Najmuddin Pharoah Ahmad, who said that Lowe’s talent and commitment serve as an inspiration.
“Our focus is on fostering excellence and making the most of this world-class experience, not just for Tri-tania, but for Anguilla’s future in global athletics,” he added.
The team’s journey has been made possible through the support of the Department of Sport and sponsorship from USA-based companies ‘A Pharoah’s Touch’ and ‘To God Be the Glory Sports’.
This was organised using the network of the Anguilla Top Hill Basketball Club and UK-based organisation ‘Reach One Teach One, Building Bridges to Success’.
Lowe from North Hill competed for Anguilla at the NACAC Championships held in the Bahamas in August.
“Her tireless dedication and international experience underscore the determination and ambition that drive Anguilla’s athletes forward,” the association said.
In August 2024, Lowe broke Anguilla’s record for the women’s 100m sprint when she clocked 11.97 seconds at the 2024 Nevis Culturama Games at the Nevis Athletic Stadium on 21 July.
Running against a headwind of 0.08 metres per seconds, she beat the previous record holder Desiree Cocks, who had held the title since 1998 with an 11.98 second run.
