The BVI Athletics Association 2013 season opens at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the A. O. Shirley Recreation Grounds with the Gatorade Development Series, which runs through March 1.

Each meet of the Gatorade Series will be named after someone in the athletics family and three of the five meets on the card will be held on Friday afternoons starting at 5:30 p.m.

As this year is the CAC Age Group Championships scheduled for Curacao June 29-30, each meet will feature events catering to the 11-12 and 13-14 age groups as they prepare for the multidiscipline event.

The first race in the series kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, with the Hastings Grant Memorial, which will be followed by the Tahesia Harrigan-Scott Classic on Jan 25; The Rose Phillips King-Adams Classic is set for Feb 2 and the Johnny Hassan Relays on Feb 22.

The series will conclude with the Rey O?Neal Fast Time on March 1, ahead of the National Jr. Championships, which also serves as the Carifta Games Trials on March 9.
