Andwuelle Wright will become only the second athlete from Trinidad and Tobago to compete in an IAAF World Championship men’s long jump competition when he leaps into action at Khalifa International Stadium here in Doha, Qatar, today.

Williams is in Doha as Wright’s coach, and is keen for his 22-year-old charge to create history by becoming the first T&T jumper to qualify for a World Championship final.
