Mayaguez, Puerto Rico - Leford Green denied local hero Javier Culson the possibility of a rematch and a home victory as Mexico took the lead of the 23rd Central American and Caribbean Championships medal tally under a constant rain on Saturday (16) in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
One year after beating Culson at the Central American and Caribbean Games on the same track, Green took advantage of his rival’s problems passing the eighth hurdle and never looked back to take the 400m Hurdles gold medal in a season’s best of 49.03.
The 2009 Berlin World Championships runner-up lost his rhythm and was overtaken by Dominican Republic’s 2004 Olympic and twice World champion Felix Sanchez (49.41), his fastest time this year by over half a second, to repeat his silver medal from Havana 2009.
