Her participation will mark the first time a Guyanese referee/judge will officiate in the South American Youth Championship. Agard will join several other Caribbean officials in the Spanish speaking nation. Last December the experienced female referee and chairperson of the Guyana Boxing Association Referee/Judge Commission picked up her One Star badge after being successful at the exams in Barbados.
She has since officiated in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Championships in April in St. Lucia and an international tournament in Grenada. Agard’s last major tournament was the ALBA Games in Venezuela in 2011.
