TheAnguilla Amateur Athletic Federation (AAAF) is the governing body for the sport of athletics inAnguilla. Current president isLorna Rogers.[1]
AAAF was founded as Anguilla Amateur Athletic Association in 1978 and was affiliated to theIAAF the same year.[2]
AAAF is the national member federation forAnguilla in the following international organisations:
There is no separate Olympic Committee in Anguilla, as Anguilla is aBritish Overseas Territory, not an independent state. Therefore, athletes from Anguilla are not entitled to represent Anguilla at Olympic Games, but may compete for Great Britain, either while maintaining Anguillan qualification of IAAF events, or as all Anguillans are entitled to a British passport, by transferring allegiance to Great Britain for all events.[3]
Anguillan born long jumperShara Proctor availed of the latter route to represent Great Britain at both the2012 Summer Olympics and the2013 World Championships. Anguillan sprint prospectZharnel Hughes has indicated he may make a similar switch.[4]
AAAF maintains theAnguillian records in athletics.
