In the recent past some concerns have been raised about the number of events some athletes contest at the annual Inter Primary Schools Athletics Championships (IPSAC) and the Inter Secondary Schools Athletics Championships (ISSAC).
Some are concerned that too many athletes are being asked to compete in too many events at a single sport meet, often in a single day, and are therefore not being allowed the opportunity to benefit from adequate recovery time between events.
The Schools Games Committee of the Ministry of Education has agreed to engage the relevant medical and sporting authorities in the discourse in order to arrive at an informed decision to place before the government for final consideration.
