Hart, a graduate of Texas A&M University pursued a career in the sport of track and field running under the PUMA brand, on the professional level.  As a junior athlete, he represented the Bahamas at the Carifta Games and Junior Pan American Games.

Hart’s personal best in the 100m, 10.10s made him the 3rd fastest Bahamian of all time in the event.  The former national standout, also competed in the 200m, closing his career with a personal best of 20.23s in the event.

The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture also extends heartfelt condolences to the Executive branch of the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA), all other members of the organization, and persons within the sporting community.

As Minister I pray for healing and comfort to the family of the bereaved during this difficult time.

 

May his soul rest in peace.
