Experience the highly talked about showcase of Jamaica’s young track stars

ISSA Boys and Girls Championships Kingston, Jamaica March 13—March 16, 2014

A curious look at Champs in beautiful Jamaica!

March 13 - March 16, 2014

Jamaica, as small as it is, rivals any country in the world in producing great sprinters.

The achievements are startling, beginning with Herb Mackenley in the 1950s, to

Merlene Ottey in the 80s & 90s through to the current male and female sprint

stalwarts including Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell and Shelly Ann Fraser-Price,

Rohan “The Beast” Blake and the legend in the making, double Olympic champion at

100m and 200m as well as triple record holder 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay,

Usain “Lightning” Bolt. Great runners who represented other countries such as

Lynford Christie, Donovan Bailey, and Sanya Richards all have roots in the tiny island.

What is the reason for this success? Some say the secret is in the yams or the water

or fast twitch muscle fibers. Whatever the reason, the passion for running, the training

regiment and the physical environment are summed up in a 4 day track and field

festival in Kingston call “Champs”. Over 100 high schools across the country compete

for the boys and girls sections of the championships at the national stadium in front of

a sea of ecstatic supporters wearing vibrant colors and waving flags that represent

their schools. Many observers including Ato Boldon, ESPN analysts and Michael

Johnson, Olympic champion and BBC analysts believes that “Champs” is the factory

from which stars are born.

Visit Champs and see for yourself. Observe the nursery from which great sprinters

come. Take the chance on your tour to watch children race at school during break

periods. Go to the training camp of world beaters, you may find one there working out.

Hear the coach’s views on the training regiments, upcoming talents and the

motivation behind this success. Enjoy the exotic food, culture and beaches while you

are there. Make friends and experience the island’s natural beauty.
