On the eve of the annual Inter Primary Schools Athletics Championships (IPSAC) and the Inter Secondary Schools Athletics Championships (ISSAC), the athletics fraternity was greeted with the news that on yet another occasion, someone thought it a wise thing to literally break the lock of the storeroom of Team Athletics St Vincent and the Grenadines – located under the PH Veira pavilion – at the at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex, managed by the National Sports Council (NSC).
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.
The annual Inter Primary Schools Athletics Championships (IPSAC) and the Inter Secondary Schools Championships (ISSAC) are upon us. The Heats for both events have already taken place. With the nation’s premier track and field facility at Arnos Vale being occupied in preparation for Cricket and then the FIFA World Cup second round preliminaries, the athletes have to find alternative places to adequately prepare themselves.
On Tuesday 24 March and Wednesday 25 March 2015 all roads lead to the Arnos Vale Sports Complex where the very best track and field athletes at the Primary and Secondary schools of this nation will contest for top honours in the Inter Primary Schools Athletics Championships (IPSAC) and the Inter Secondary Schools Athletics Championships (ISSAC).
