will compete at this summer's Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada.

Promising young high jumper Rohaan Simons last night cleared six feet 111 inches (2.12 metres) during a track and field meet at National Stadium to meet the qualifying standard.

And Bermuda Olympic Association said they had accepted the performances of cyclist Elliott Hubbard, currently racing in France, as being good enough to include his name on the Bermuda team.

The addition of Simons and Hubbard comes hot on the heels of that of 800 metres runner Jennifer Fisher who on Tuesday evening ran 2:7.57 to qualify for the Games during a meet in Seattle, Washington.

Simons' success last night means that for the first time Bermuda will be represented by two high jumpers at a major international meet as Stephen Woodley has already met the standard.

Simons exceeded his personal best by some six centimetres. But his mark was just short of the standard of 2.14 metres needed to qualify for the World Junior Championships which will be held in Portugal between July 15-20.

Bermuda's track and field team for the Commonwealth Games has now swelled to at least six -- Simons, Woodley (high jump), Brian Wellman (triple jump), Troy Douglas (400m), Jennifer Fisher (800m) and Brett Forgesson (marathon).

National track and field coach Gerry Swan claimed last night that Terrance Armstrong (1500 metres and steeplechase) and Kavin Smith (10,000 metres) had also met the qualifying standard.

And Swan said he had high hopes that Commonwealth Games high jump gold medallist Clarance Saunders would soon qualify for the 400 metres hurdles.

Saunders, who has been concentrating on the one-lap event recently, reportedly only missed out last night by 1.5 seconds, clocking 53.8. A knee injury will prevent Saunders from defending his high jump title in Victoria.

Meanwhile, Elliott Hubbard became the first local cyclist to qualify for the Games.

The 20-year-old's performances in various races in Europe during the year have been recognised by the BOA and his place confirmed.

This now leaves three other local riders attempting to meet the qualifying standard for the 110 mile road race at international events in North America during the next two weeks. They are Dana Henry, Mike Lee and McInnis Looby.

Henry and Looby are presently in the United States where they are preparing for a 130-mile road race in the Massachusetts area this weekend.

But the main event is on June 26 when the trio will compete on the actual 110-mile Commonwealth Games course in Victoria, Canada.

It is this event which local officials will be using to decide whether the trio will accompany Hubbard to the Games.

Of Hubbard's selection Bermuda Bicycle Association spokesman Vance Stevens said: "We are all very pleased with the news. Now we are hoping that the other three do well in Canada.''
