PAN AMERICAN Junior Championships relay bronze medallist Dwight Mullings heads a cadre of St. Jago athletes set to depart the island shortly to take up scholarships in the United States.

Mullings, a member of St. Jago's sprint and mile teams which finished second and third respectively at Penn Relays, will be joined by Kamar Ellis, Suelyn Pilliner, Sheldon Wilkins and Janell Brown.

Mullings, who finished fourth in the 200m at this year's Boys and Girls Championships, will be heading off to take up a two-year scholarship at Essex, New Jersey.

He will be joined at Essex by Ellis, an Under-17 Carifta medallist, Pilliner, who finished second at Champs in the Class One high jump, and Brown, a 100m finalist at Girls Champs.

Wilkins, who was a member of Jamaica's Pan American Junior Championships team last year, will be heading to Lindenwood, Missouri.
