Kissimmee Osceola High School senior-to-be, Tynia Gaither, earned the silver medal at the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore on Sunday. Representing her native The Bahamas, she ran a 23.68 in the finals of the 200 meter dash (just off her PR) to take second behind Nkiruka Florence Nwakwe of Nigeria. Gaither has had quite a season on the international track & field scene this year, running as one of The Bahamas biggest stars and future Olympic prospects in meets like The Bahamas Nationals and the CARIFTA Games.
