CHAMPS 2009 will be staged at the National Statdium April 1 - 4. After the success of the Basketball and Hockey teams and the commanding performance at WESTERN CHAMPS the Munro Family is anticipating more success.

CLASS I (16-19 year olds)

Class I will be Munro's weakest group. Athlethes to look out for are: OMAR BRYAN, RASSACK WHITE and RAJAE GAYLE in the throws. If totally healthy DEXTER McKENZIE should score heavily in the long jump while with some luck JODI-RAE BLACKWOOD (400M), ERROL DAVIS (800M) and MIKHAIL JOHNS (triple jump) could surprise us.

This class should contribute 20-25 points.

CLASS II (15-16 years old)

Munro is expected to perform creditably in this age group. Sprinters ROLANDO REID and ADAM CUMMUNINS, class III 100m champion in 2007 and 2008 are expected to be major factors in the 100m. Add DELANO WILLIAMS (200m) to that duo and much is expected from the sprinters. Hurdler PATRICK CAMPBELL (5th in 2008 ) is a medal prospect in the 100m hurdles and will certainly contribute to the 4x100m relay team. The Gold Medal is not beyond this team.  EMMANUEL ONYIA should maintain the rich tradition of Munro in the throws (discuss/shots).

Class II should contibute 40-50 points.

CLASS III (Under 14)

The class III squad is built around KANEIL HARRISON. He should figure prominently in any event he competes and two gold medal is a distinct possibility. At Gibson Relays the 4x100m team ran 44.87 for the 4th place. This time they should run fatser and place higher. LEVARR DUNCHIE is a tough little customer - look out for him in an undistinguished 800m field.

20-25 points is expected in this class.

SUMMARY

Munro should score between 80-100 points with 11 medals. A TOP SIX finish is expecetd and then bragging rights as the top RURAL SCHOOL.

Then again, this is sports and sports has a big element of unpredictability. GOOD LUCK TO OUR TEAM

CUMMINGS SETS NEW CHAMPS RECORD

New Season | New Coach | New Faces
Here we are again at the beginning of yet another season. Many things have changed and many remain the same. One person that captures both the past and the present is our new coach for the '08-'09 season, Neil Harrison.

Coach Harrison first came to Munro in 1997 and immediately made a huge impact by producing a high calibre mile relay team that won at the Penn Relays that year. He would later guide Munro's mile relay team to two consecutive wins at Gibson and Champs in 1999 and 2000 (see video links below). Under the tenure of Coach Harrison and Head Coach Leroy Allison Munro also won the Western Athletics Championships for six consecutive years until 2003. During this time Coach Harrison earned national recognition as the best Western Regional Coach and was appointed as a National Coach to the Carifta Games from 2001 to 2003.

Coach Harrison is married to wife Karlene (Cindy) and is father to Kaneil and Nekaila.

We are happy to have him back at Munro College and look forward to renewed success at every level.
