The recently concluded 2016 Boys and Girls Track and Field Championship at the National Stadium in Jamaica was perhaps unmatched by any other high school track and field event.
This accomplishment demonstrates the skills and level of professionalism of our young athletes but, more importantly, the contributions and involvement of the private sector working in community partnership outside the influence of the government. This was a world-class event and has set the stage for Jamaica to host the next IAAF World Track and Field Championship in 2019.
""" ” ” Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire; it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand." ~ Nelson Mandela speaking while presenting the Inaugural Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award, Sporting Club, Monaco, Monte Carlo, 25 May 2000 #LivingTheLegacy and Jamaicans are ready to do just that with the first-ever Ice Hockey Team.
