Archer has shown consistency on the track this year and is one of the athletes to watch out for in the future. As Headmaster Harrinarine said, West Demerara will be giving her full support at the upcoming National Schools’ Championships next month.
β€œAs far as I know, Archer is the first athlete from our school to record such performances and we want to say congratulations to her. We expect her to continue to do well,” the West Demerara Secondary School Headmaster noted.
Archer is a fifth form student of the school, who will be writing eight subjects at the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) and according to Harrinarine, the exemplary student-athlete is expect to excel.

Harrinarine said that apart from the exploits of Archer in sports, his school also has a nationally acclaimed choir.
