YG 2010: MCTF VAULTS INTO HISTORY

SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS
Sean Lawson (left) and Nicholi Campbell (below right) made history for Munro College at the 2010 Youngster Goldsmith Meet when both cleared heights in the Pole Vault Open. This was the first time any Munronian executed a successful series of vaults at the National Stadium (previous clearances were at Sabina Park or Race Course). Special commendation must go to their instructor Mr. Orville Brown, the region's preeminent pole vault coach, who continues to offer guidance every weekend.

YG 2010 was also the venue for another prodigal return as Class II athlete Adam Cummings participated in the long jump for the first time at the high school level. Cummings, leaped 6.52m (21' 4 5/8") for second place. Later that evening he opened his 100m season with a 10.84 clocking to not only win the Class II event but also record the fastest schoolboy time of the day.

Other notable MCTF performances came from Emmanuel Oniya in the Class I shot put (4th, 15.51m) and Rajae Gayle in the Class I Discus (6th, 46.10m).

JAMALCO 2010: MCTF sent a split squad to the 2010 running of the JAAA JAMALCO meet. The team won the High School Boys 4x400m in a time of 3:20.90. Congratulations to Messrs. Dennis May and Neville Myton for consistently running one of the most enjoyable meets of the year.

MCTF is scheduled to compete at the 2010 Milo Western Relays at GC Foster on Saturday February 13th.
