Jamaica College (JC) could join Calabar High and Kingston College (KC) as locations for synthetic tracks for athletics.That's the word from Ian Forbes, the chairman of the JC sports committee. Forbes said his school had been contemplating the acquisition of such a track for some time.
Speaking in the wake of announced work by KC to install a synthetic track at its Melbourne campus. Forbes said: "It's something we have considered over a long period of time and I think the will is there to do it."
He continued: "There's nothing wrong with the natural surface, but as you know, the sport has moved rapidly and we must change with the time. The Dark Blues' spacious 189 Old Hope Road campus could comfortably accommodate a synthetic replacement for its existing 320-metre grass surface, he noted.
