The Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association ISSA is to maintain the normal dates for the National Boys’ and Girls’ athletics Championships in late March next year, if the event is given the go ahead by the Government.
Champs, as the meet is popularly called, is usually held in late March or one month before the Easter weekend when the CARIFTA Games are usually staged, but there were calls for the dates to be changed to accommodate the late start to the school year.
The event was cancelled in March after the first few cases of the novel coronavirus were discovered on the island, but president of ISSA Keith Wellington said this week that based on professional advice, the championships could be held and with limited spectators.
