This year we are going to spend some time introducing you to the members of the squad. We'll start off with joint holder of the 2008 Most Improved Athlete of the Year Award, Jodirae Blackwood.
Name: Jodirae O Blackwood
DOB: June 3, 1991
Born: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Form: Lower Sixth
House: Sangster
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 165lbs
Jodirae first joined the team in 2006 as a sprint hurdler and made the Class II 110mH final at Western Champs that year. In January 2008 he was asked to run a leg on our 4x400m team at the Central Hurdles and Relay meet. Jodirae surprised everyone but himself when he dropped a sub-50 split and he's been a fixture on the mile relay team since. His best performance in a flat 4 prior to 2008 was no better than 52 seconds, but with hard work and determination he broke through the 50-sec barrier and ran 48.46 (pb) in the 2nd round of the Class I 400m at Champs 2008.
Jodirae plans to make the Champs final in 2009 after missing the finals this year by 1/100th of a second.
