The National Association of Athletics Administrations of Trinidad & Tobago (NAAATT) is the governing body for the sport of athletics in Trinidad and Tobago.[1][2]

History[]

NAAATT was founded in 1945 as Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) of Trinidad and Tobago,[3] and was affiliated to the IAAF in 1962.[4] However, AAA ceased to organize national championships. Therefore, starting in 1969, the National Athletes Union (NAU) started to hold national championships leading to a reformation of a National Amateur Athletic Association of Trinidad and Tobago (NAAATT) in 1971. First president was . In 2009, NAAATT was finally renamed to National Association of Athletics Administrations of Trinidad and Tobago.[5]

Current president is former sprinter and 1978 Commonwealth Games relay silver medallist Ephraim Serrette. He took office in 2006,[5] and was re-elected in 2010 for the period 2010–2013.[6] In spite of calls for resignation of the entire executive over drug issues forcing sprinters Semoy Hackett and Kelly-Ann Baptiste to withdraw from the 2013 IAAF World Championships, he was re-elected in November 2013.[7][8]
