Taylor ... I am going for revenge. - file
HE IS the favourite for the Class Two 100m, but Triston Taylor believes he has something else up his sleeve and has warned statisticians and spectators not to be surprised when he delivers.Based on times, Taylor is expected to finish third behind Jamaica College's Winston Barnes and Anthony Vernon of Cornwall in the Class Two 200m at Champs, however, he thinks otherwise.
"I'm expected to finish third, but I am going to give the whole stadium a surprise," Taylor said.
The 15-year-old Central High student said things would be different in the 100m event as he explained his chances.
"It will be a swift race ... when I get to the 60m mark, I will be leading and at 80m mark you will see who is the winner."
After losing out to Barnes in both sprints at Champs 2003, Taylor capitalised on Barnes' departure and broke on to the scene last year by winning the double.
He failed to make the 100m final and finished sixth in the 200m final in 2003, however, his final year at Class Three bore fruit. He stepped up to the plate with victories in the 100m (10.94) and 200m (22.78).
Come this weekend, Taylor promises an even better performance.
"You can expect a better performance than the last two years, because I have been on a better programme."
To add to that, Taylor sent a strong message to Barnes, who defeated him at the Queens/Grace Jackson Meet last month.
"I am going for revenge. When I remember it (champs 2003), I get angry," Taylor explained.
It has been a reasonably good season for the Central High sprinter and he was quick to say: "I am satisfied, yes. At Gibson on the opening 200m leg I ran 21.1, which was very good."
He won the sprint double at Central Champs, claiming the 100m in 10.4 and the 200m in 21.6.
Taylor also spoke of his team's chances. "We expect a good performance in the 4x100m, all classes, and we are expected to make a lot of finals," he said.
