It’s all systems go for the 15th staging of the Wesley Powell/Heart Institute of the Caribbean (HIC) Track and Field Meet, which gets underway at 8:30 am at Excelsior High School today.
The season-opening meet, which serves as an opportunity for coaches to measure the readiness of their athletes ahead of the track and field season, promises to be another exciting one with some 40 track and 36 field events on offer.
Over 40 schools and close to 1,400 athletes are expected to be on show and David Riley, member of the organising committee, is anticipating another successful staging, especially with the introduction of a few innovations.
“We should have another successful staging; we have introduced quite a few novelties where we are streaming it live throughout the diaspora, as well as free Wi-Fi for spectators and live results update.
“So there is quite a bit that we have been doing to improve on the experience, not just those who are there in the venue, but persons who are tuning in to the activities from all over,” Riley told the Jamaica Observer.
