Wiltshire has won five junior Caribbean titles and is aiming for a sixth
Since 2014, when he was just 10 years of age and playing in Bermuda, the young man has not lost a match on his way to Junior CASA titles, and such a track record pits him very likely to close out his junior career with an Under-19 title in July when Guyana hosts the event.
“I hope I can win that title this because it’s my last year and I want to go out with it, so I hope I can continue training and win that for my last year.”
From the overall team, he is confident the boys are more than capable of doing well, and should the younger age group in the girls’ category be strengthened, Guyana can regain its grip on the overall title.
Apart from the unwavering commitment and added bonus of being at an institution that facilitates squash, Shomari’s father, Garfield Wiltshire, a former national player and now esteem Guyanese sport administrator, has been fueling his son’s journey to stardom from the tender age of six.
Though his sisters, all top junior Caribbean players, have gone the route of health sciences in academia, Shomari is truly sticking close to dad, with the aim to further his studies in accountants and business.
As it stands, every day of training from now to July is geared towards winning that Caribbean Under-19 title.
