On behalf of the\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Track & Field Team, we would like to thank the\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Mayor\u2019s Office,\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Municipal Council, and the\u00a0Tinian\u00a0legislative delegation for providing the funds that allowed us to participate in the recently concluded Micronesia Area Championships. <\/p>\n
We are also thankful to the Northern Marianas Athletics for all the assistance they provided. NMA\u00a0was the perfect host. They deserve an A-plus and made it a first-class event. We have to congratulate Team Guam on their outstanding performances; they were head and shoulders above everyone else. Their 40 gold medals haul might be a new record.<\/p>\n
I would like to\u00a0congratulate\u00a0Zarinanae\u00a0Sapong\u00a0on keeping her title as Micronesia\u2019s fastest woman and\u00a0Traven\u00a0Quitugua,\u00a0NMI\u2019s\u00a0fastest\u00a0man, on becoming Micronesia\u203as second fastest teenager.\u00a0Zarinanae\u00a0beat Guam\u203as fastest girl; not many\u00a0NMI\u00a0athletes can say they beat Guam\u203as best. Good job, guys! I would give a C-minus on the rest of our performances. The main excuse was the track was only recently resurfaced and there was not enough time to practice on it.<\/p>\n
We must thank Ray\u00a0Tebuteb\u00a0for getting everyone together to put on a great show. The\u00a0Tinian\u00a0team is requesting that Mr.\u00a0Tebuteb\u00a0resubmit a hosting bid so we can run it back.<\/p>\n
Ed\u00a0Temengil<\/strong> On behalf of the\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Track & Field Team, we would like to thank the\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Mayor\u2019s Office,\u00a0Tinian\u00a0Municipal Council,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[21704,257,6079,21705],"class_list":["post-278824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters-to-the-editor","tag-micronesia-area-championships","tag-nmi","tag-team-guam","tag-traven-quitugua"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278824\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
