Dyke, Carr bat for more changes

While welcoming the introduction of the Class Four girls’ 400m at next year’s ISSA Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships, two of Jamaica’s leading high school coaches, Michael Dyke and Michael Carr, believe additional changes are needed to further enhance the development of young athletes. Dyke, head coach of 11-time champions Edwin Allen High, described the introduction of the event as a step in the right direction, but argued that greater opportunities should be created for girls interested in middle-distance running.
