GoodHeart |Ricardo Davis pushes through setbacks to pursue triathlon

WESTERN BUREAU: Nineteen-year-old sports enthusiast Ricardo Davis has spent years getting in shape to compete in and promote triathlon, a sport he enjoys so much that not even a childhood injury could keep him from pursuing it. Davis, who hails from Fairfield, Irwin, St James, is the 2025-2026 National Triathlon champion. He was also the recipient of the VIP Attractions Triathlon Award at the recent Jill Stewart MoBay City Run Champions of the West Awards Ceremony, held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre.
