Munro Athletes Reap Gold at CARIFTA 2008

MC Duo Strikes Gold

Rajae "Flajah" Gayle and Rolando "Midnight" Reid will each leave St. Kitts with two gold and two bronze medals.

Reid captured his medals as a member of both U-17 relay teams. He received a bronze for his work in the 4x100m and a gold medal for breaking open Jamaica's lead on the 2nd leg of the 4x400m.

Rajae Gayle continues a stellar tradition for Munro throwers at the CARIFTA Games. On the opening day he took the bronze in the U-17 Shot Put with a throw of 14.75m and came back on the final day to take gold in the Discus with a personal best throw of 48.54m.

Congrats to both Rajae and Rolando you have carried the Munro and Jamaica flags high!

Way to go MC. I am a Munro Old Boy way back from 1983, but still feel proud when "city on the hill" still shines bright.

You guys should sign your comments so we know who you are...we would really like to get the Old Boys and former team members more involved...beyond donations (which we haven't seen much of either)...

The 1983 man...is that Patrick "Shine" Williams...

Well done fellows... continue to make Munronians the world over proud. I hope we can take home the DaCosta Cup, Ben Francis Cup, and the Olivier Shield in the upcoming school year.
Big up the website...
