Edwin Allen coach rejects restructuring plan

Leon Powell, head coach of the Edwin Allen High School boys’ track and field team, says he has declined an offer from the school’s administration to be part of a new coaching structure at the institution. It is understood that veteran coach Michael Dyke, head coach of the girls’ team, has been given responsibility for both the boys’ and girls’ programmes. Powell, who has been coaching at Edwin Allen since 2013, said he is no longer actively coaching and remains employed as a teacher at the Clarendon-based institution.
