  I believe our season might be abit long. These atheletes as we have seen and know are alot better than what we have seen.

  This is most definitely the weakest team ever. Injuries galore along with subpar performances. At the beginning of the season everyone was excited and thought this may be our best performance ever.... more

    400. I wonder if it was the coaches choice, or her coach's. I am actually ok with the fact that she didn't run. I really am glad at how careful they are being with this athlete. I think I can rest... more

      Nonsense strike while the iron is hot. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, utter garbage. It was okay to run her in the 400 and 800 and 4x400 at Champs because without her Holmwood would not have won... more

      sometimes you should strike when the iron is hot ..Its good to have championship titles beside your name ..

    Blake underperformed in 100m, Ramone McKenzie underperformed in 200m and Tarik Batchelor in LJ. The '08 squad was much deeper I didn't see the warning signs that most people are grumbling about on... more

  they said i am an alarmist ..No way at our worse certain countries should be beating us ..Last year Youths was the sign but nobody questioned it or cared

    I also expressed some scepticism after schools championships noting that I did not sense any exciting talent emerging this year. So I'm not too surprised.
  - - Baam! got ma answer. — --->FreshKiid17<---, Sat Jul 24 16:38

      there is need for flexibility at this level. Wild card Junior entry maybe ..after written excuse is sent to JAAA but athlete must run creditably in recognized meet ...

    they simply are not fit. The only athletes that seem to be fairing well are those that lead a relatively low-key start to their season. The focus towards World Juniors is not there I think. Focus is... more

        Other countries have exams also. The only real difference I see is Champs. That peak carries over to Carifta and Penn. But I have heard people say that your coaches have not done a good job of... more

        sprints. Take the best runners from the top 4 teams at Penn's from the boys and the girls and we would have put most of these teams to shame. Add to them the likes of Lee, Muir and Brown who are... more
