BOGUE, St James – THE track and field season in western Jamaica will kick into a higher gear this Saturday with the staging of the County of Cornwall Athletics Association’s First Chance Meet at Herbert Morrison, starting at 10:00am.
Herbert Morrison will be hosting the meet for the second year after it shifted from Irwin High. Meet director Claude Grant told Jamaica Observer West on Wednesday that a good turnout of schools and clubs is expected.
Grant said that so far one Kingston-based school, Excelsior High, has applied to participate in the events and that many more were expected.
Grant said the top western schools had also shown interest, including Munro College, St Elizabeth Technical, Herbert Morrison, Green Island, Cornwall College, Mt Alvernia High, Spot Valley and Rusea’s High.
The events on the schedule are 100m, 400m and 800m for all classes for boys and girls, as well as long jump, high jump and shot put in the field events.
