Holmwood coach happy with Powell grab

Head coach of former ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships winners Holmwood Technical, Dave Anderson, says the acquisition of experienced coach Leon Powell is a major boost to the school’s track and field programme, particularly its sprinting.

Powell, who had been in charge of the boys’ programme at Edwin Allen High School since 2013, left the institution last month after declining an offer from the school’s administration to be part of a new coaching structure.

The move followed a decision to place veteran girls’ coach Michael Dyke in charge of both the boys’ and girls’ programmes at Edwin Allen.
