McMaster out of World Championships
McMaster was adjudged to have touched the line after landing after the first hurdle. His leg went round rather than over the hurdle and forced him to step on the line.
President of the British Virgin Islands Athletics Association (BVIAA), Steve Augustine was full of praise for the youngster, “Unfortunately, Kyron had a misfortune in his race. However, this is not the end, he still Ranks number one in the World and has done us extremely proud, throughout the year. I have always believed it doesn’t matter how many times you are broken down, but how many times you get up and Kyron’s better days are still ahead of him and I know he will continue to do great things.”
