Changing Champs - JC coach hopes event shake-up keeps development front of mind

At least one coach is raising concerns that changes being considered by the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) to make the Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships more efficient could ultimately hinder athlete development. According to The Gleaner sources, major adjustments are being considered for next year’s GraceKennedy-sponsored Champs. From shifting events to days that could boost spectator attendance to reducing the number of entries per event, ISSA is weighing a series of changes aimed at benefiting stakeholders ahead of next year’s staging.
