James: Excellent feedback as MVP Grassroots Camp returns

More than 140 student-athletes and their coaches from central Jamaica have benefited from the first 2022 MVP Grassroots Athletics Training Camp at GC Foster College last Saturday.

“As always the Puma gear was an absolute hit with all the student-athletes in attendance. They also were well hydrated throughout the entire camp thanks to Wisynco brands, WATA, Powerade, Tru Shake and Tru Juice. National Commercial Bank (NCB) also representatives shared insight for financial strategies with the participants while the Sports Development Foundation (SDF) assisted in funding breakfast and lunch for the student-athletes and their coaches,” James said.

He said 10 boys and girls were rewarded by a sponsor for their outstanding performances across the six combined athletics skill (sprinting, distance running, hurdles, jumps, throws and relays) which all athletes were trained in.

The Puma Girl of the Camp was Shania Myers from Hydel High School and the Puma Boy of the Camp was Nicholas Williams from Edwin Allen High School. Natassia Burrell of Hydel and Demario Prince from St Jago High School were named the respective NCB Girl and Boy of last weekend’s camp.
