“This is definitely the year for me to go sub-45 in the 400m [outdoors], I am feeling great. I am double-determined to go sub-45,” said a confident Akheem, who stated that the plan for the year is to focus only on the 400m outdoors. His goals for 2014 include breaking the Jamaican indoor national 300m record, making the Jamaican World Indoor Championship team, going sub-45 in the outdoor 400m, and making the Jamaican Commonwealth team. “This year I will be leaving it all on the track.” said Akheem “I have gotten past the unfortunate episode last year…I have put it all behind me… I just have to keep my head down and focus on my future.” Akheem is scheduled to compete at the Armory on possibly January 18, before heading back to Arkansas to continue his studies. Upon completing his studies, Akheem will return to Zenith Velocity to continue his training. Akheem is scheduled to appear on the Sports Zone with the Professor Show this Tuesday, January 14th at 8.30 pm EST streaming live at http://www.caribbeanzoneradiohd.com/ Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter
