Amid recent controversy over the eligibility of athletes that prompted the Guam National Olympic Committee to ban the Guam Track & Field Association from the Committee, the top two officials from GTFA – President Jay Antonio and Vice President Joe Taitano – have decided to step down from their positions on this Christmas Eve. Secretary General Marissa Peroy will take over as interim President.
Here is the official letter: GTFA-GNOC_signed
It was on Dec. when the GTFA protested in front of the GNOC Maite office trying to get official notice for their ban that was long over a year.

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
