Kingston College is following in the path of history by breaking ground for its new synthetic running track at the Melbourne campus on Elletson Road yesterday. They will become the second local high school to do so in one year following in the footstep of Calabar High, which opened its track last January.

The new track is being facilitated by Bachelor's family-headed RuJohn Foundation, which has contributed 75 per cent of the US$400,000 estimated cost of construction.Yesterday's ceremony was well attended by past and current students, as well as political representatives.

Work on the track will begin on Monday and is expected to be completed in late February. Byron Bachelor handed over the initial contribution to Byron Ingleton of Pavecom, the company responsible to start the early work on the project.

The track will have a full 100m straight, but will measure 350m in complete length, along with international standard curves.

Synthetic Track For JC?

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.
