KEMRON Henfield was named the most outstanding athlete in the boys’ under-17 division as he led Team Velocity to victory in Class C - comprising of 20-and-under athletes - at the Speed Capital Caribbean Showcase.

Team Velocity, joining a number of other local track clubs in the meet over the weekend at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida, took 17 athletes and returned home with a total of 18 medals.

Henfield, in qualifying for the CARIFTA Games in Trindad & Tobago over the Easter holiday weekend, picked up a gold in both the 100 and 200 metres and a silver in the long jump to lead the way for Team Velocity.

“The team’s performance was amazing,” said Team Velocity’s head coach Sherry Francis, who was assisted by coaches Ken Munroe and Stephen Murray. 

“We had 10 100-metre finalists. That alone spoke volumes and how we were able to secure the MVP in the C class category. The kids were able to run the rounds and secured 18 medals.”

Meet director Luke Robinson congratulated Francis, her coaching staff and members of Team Velocity on winning their divisional title.

“This group had the most challenge as we had over 40 clubs in this category,” Kennedy said. “Team Velocity took home the award with 17 kids.

Francis noted their seven gold, five silver and and six bronze was confirmation that their training program is working. 

“I would like to thank the parents for entrusting their children athletic training with our coaching staff,” Francis summed up.
