🇩🇲 The Pioneers Athletics Club proudly congratulates Akiesha Luke and Keyoni Esprit on their selection to represent Team Dominica at the 2026 ANOECS Athletics Championships, scheduled for July 4–5, 2026, at the Kim Collins Stadium in St. Kitts & Nevis.

This year’s championships mark the long-awaited return of the ANOECS Track & Field Championships after the competition was last held in 2017, making this a significant milestone for athletics across the OECS. Dominica will be represented by a talented delegation of eight athletes under the guidance of Coach Joel Hamilton, with the team featuring athletes preparing for future regional and international competitions.

🌟 Pioneers Proud

We are especially excited to see two of our outstanding athletes wearing the national colours once again.
