The matchup we have begging to see for the last 2 years is finally happening today at the Carifta Games in the U-20 women's 800 race scheduled to start this late afternoon at 4:55 PM ET in the Bahamas!
IMG Academy senior Layla Haynes (FL #15 all-time 2:09 PR) vs. Montverde Academy junior Michelle Smith (FL #7 all-time 2:07 PR) for the first time ever racing head to head at 800 meter distance!
Who are we rooting for Florida? Team Barbados with Layla Haynes or Team US Virgin Islands with Michelle Smith?
Either way, will be treat to watch!
Both talented young ladies are coming off already earning gold medals at the Carifta Games this past weekend with Haynes winning the 1500 meter run and Smith winning the 400 meter hurdles.
