We are so proud of you luan ,you have made us bioche people and dominicans very proud congrats my girl
Dominica has the potential to be on the world stage. We have to promote and support our local talent more.
Luan congratulations. Now we need to take advantage of Harris’ skills Dominica while everyone is running away he returned. Athletes perform with him behind them.
I hope this is the beginning of great things to come for athletics in Dominica. The support DOMINICA we need it.
DOMINICA you have a COACH here educated in this field – this is a man who can train athletes on a professional level do not let this be wasted.
raw talent, good coach we are good to go – facility???
Just to confirm, her coach is Nabi Wallace, not Cedric Harris.
gr8. our country has recognised. congrats Luan
Congratulation! Job well done. I hope this athlete is given the necessary support from the sports division and the private sector, so that her accomplishments, don’t end with the Carifta games, buy continue on to the next level, OLYMPIC GAMES.
Congrats Luan>>>and Cedric Harris hats off to you…every team you train seem to excel>>>i remember when Grandbay Secondary now Pierre Charles secondary use to win athletics every year at some point.
Congrats to Luan! Thanks to Nabi Wallace who saw the talent in Luan very early and took her under his wings. Your unweavering coaching and support for Luan’s talent has brought home a more significant GOLD medal to DA. Luan the journey has just begun continue to believe in yourself and continue your disciplined training even in the absence of your COACH NABI.
@fan
If Harris had returned to PCSS – no school would stand a chance at those games. He is way better now.
Sir Nabi always a great coach congrats to you Luan and to your Coach Mr. Wallace even in his absence you excelled, why? because he taught you well.
idleness is the devil’s playground.But playgrounds breeds positive and competitive individuals which makes a solid nation.Some sort of focus should be placed in developing more playing field especially a track and field ground,so that we can realise more positive results, like this young lady have achieved.
Congrats to you Luan,keep reaching for higher hights, the sky is the limit.
Wow! what a nice piece of good news when i logged on to DNO. Really lifted my spirits this morning. Congratulations Miss Gabriel. You are now officially inducted into of D’ca’s Hall of Fame and History archives. Nobody can take that away from you.
go luannnnnnnnnnnnnn….we are so proud of you in Bioche…we’ll forever support u
To Admin
Ask the coach Mr. Cedric Harris for details about the trip. He was with the team in BVI.

but DNO how can you print the man’s personal email like this? He is the president of DAAA and a teacher you can find him.
These are things you need to sensor unless the man gave consent.
Keep it up my dear.
Congrats Luan u made Dominica proud thanks for doing what i never got a chance to do …………..very proud of u
Great great great.
Dominicas female Bolt.
Congratulations Miss Gabriel. Carifta today, Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Championship to come.
Have we got track and field ground(s)? If not,
why not?
We compalin about the young people wasting along the roadside, I’m sure if they had somewhere to go and showcase their abilities they to could represent Dominica one day.
Great question. “Have we got track and field ground(s)? If not, why not?”
Congrats Luan on your victory. It feels so proud to know that you are not only representing Dominica but the small fishing community, Bioche. We in Dublanc are very proud of you especially the Catholic Community. God bless you Luan and may you continue to serve him as He will continue to open supernatural doors for you. Congratulations again and I know your family is proud of you and what you do. I hope too that you will be a living example for all the youths in our communities, Bioche and Dublanc and Dominica on a whole. God’s Speed be you Girl!
its not a suprise to us as we see the effort you put into your training but congrats to you luan!!!!
Just imagine how much other athletes from DA could achieve with a proper athletics track. My government please realise cricket and football are not all. Give somme attention to building a proper synthetic athletic track for our young people. This girl should receive a grand welcome, a motorcade. Well done girl. You have made us all proud.
What our athletes need first of all is proper coaching and the right support team,positive people who see the good in everything.Luan had that in her coach Nabi Wallace,her training was done on grass at Benjamins park and even on stones in the school yard at ITSS,it did not take a track,even when she was sent to Trinidad to prepare with her coach Nabi her training was done on grass at the UWI SPEC FACILITY in Trinidad.So please stop trying to make our young athletes believe that without a track they can’t make it big…POSITIVE VIBES BRO!!!
congratulations
congratulations you made all Dominicans PROUD…
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Dominica is indeed proud!
