The Gleaner Company, in partnership with Scotiabank Jamaica Limited, recently unveiled their archival exhibition at the St Catherine Parish Library, highlighting Jamaica's rich tradition of success on the global track and field stage over the past 50 years.

Created by noted curator Susanne Fredricks and powered by The Gleaner's wealth of archival material, the exhibition will be erected all across Jamaica before culminating just weeks before Jamaica's athletes embark on their latest Olympic journey, in London later this year.
