The Upper House of Parliament paid tribute Friday to iconic track and field coach, Stephen Francis, who died last week.
State Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Senator Abka Fitz-Henley led the tributes and credited Francis for leaving a career in finance, where his expertise were highly pursued, and “daring to change the face of track and field in Jamaica and across the world.”
While further noting that Francis co-founded the Maximising Velocity and Power Track & Field Club, more popularly known as MVP, Fitz-Henley hailed the impact of the club.
