The 2024 Issa Grace Kennedy Boys & Girls Athletic Championships came to a thrilling end with Edwin Allen High School and Kingston College emerged as runaway winners of the Girls and Boys section respectively. To say the track performances were excellent is a massive understatement. For all who were unable to attend or watch on televiosion, let me state very clearly: The State of Jamaica's Track and Field is in excellent shape. The Sprint Factory is alive and well!!
To add to the celebration of Jamaica's vast talent pool, Puma along with the great talent pool they manage (Hansle Parchment, Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake, Natoya Goul, Michael Frater and many others) unvieled the kits that the Jamaica team will wear at this Summer Olympics in Paris, France. This was a very nice touch to the final day proceedings as many of the young athletes all aspire to be the next great Jamaican Olympian and it was inspiring to see their heroes taking part in such a beautiful event.
Below are a few of the photos captured throughout the day. Watch this space for more.
