Director of Sports at MOYSC Timothy Munnings touted that event as a
part of an "exciting time for all of our track and field athletes
throughout our country." "We expect to receive a number of athletes,
representing the best that each school has to offer," he said.
Coordinator of the Sports Unit in the Ministry of Education Evon Wisdom
