Clarendon College coach sees route to better meets

Clarendon College head of physical education and track and field coach Nigel McClymont is hoping to use knowledge gained from a recent technical managers’ course in the Dominican Republic to help improve the staging of track and field meets in Jamaica.

McClymont, a member of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) who has served in various technical capacities at meets across the island, was among 26 participants from across the Caribbean who attended the course. The programme was organised by the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletics Association (NACAC) through general secretary Micharl Serralta and ran from October 13-16.

Before travelling to the Dominican Republic for the practical component, participants completed two online sessions during which they discussed their responsibilities and shared experiences from meets they had attended.
