A ROCKET START AT JC 2010

HARD OUT THE BLOCKS

Munro got off to a strong start for the track and field season with five winning performances at the 2010 JC Invitational. Record breaking performances by throwers Emmanuel Oniya and Jevaughn Shaw were the key highlights of the meet for MCTF (Oniya is pictured left) . Shaw threw 46.47m to win the class II discus and Oniya's put of 17.45m to win the class I shot also qualifies as the best ever performance in the discipline by a Munro athlete. Other excellent openers came from Delano Williams in the class II 100m (1st, 10.65), Giovanni Mowatt in the class I 1500 (1st, 4:24:06) and Wendrico Seymour in the class I High Jump (1st, 1.90m).

The team will next compete at the JAAA/Puma Development Meet at Kirvine on Saturday the 16th.

MUNRO ATHLETES TAKE THREE NATIONAL TITLES

MUNTHROW COLLEGE AGAIN
This past weekend Munro Track and Field sent eight representatives to the National Junior Championships. We came away with three gold, two silver and one bronze, all from the throwing events.

Rajae Gayle (left) continued his fantastic run for the 2008 season with gold medal winning performances and personal bests in the U-17 Shot Put and Discus. Gayle threw 49.85m in the discus and 15.79m in the shot to take the double in the National Championships. This adds to his discus gold and shot put bronze from this year's Carifta Games.

First-year Class II man Emmanuel Oniya (below right) took silver and bronze in the U-17 Shot and Discus respectively with throws of 12.86m and 40.83m. We must also make special mention of our Class III thrower Jevaughn Shaw, who just missed out on the medals with fourth place performances in both events.

In the 17-19 category, Omar "Big Shot" Bryan took the Discus Championship with a throw of 48.42m. This adds to his Penn Relays Discus bronze from earlier this April. Bryan will also compete at the National Senior Championships where he will throw the 2K Discus alongside former MC and National Thrower, Rory Marsh.

Much thanks to Dr. Gwyn Jones for the preparation of the throwers.
