THE Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations is set to start its 2016 season Saturday at the Thomas A Robinson Track and Field Stadium with the hosting of the Odd Distance Track and Field Meet. The one-day meet is all set to start at noon and will feature competition in odd events like the 75, 150, 400, 600 and 1,200 metres on the track. On the field, the athletes will only have three attempts in the field events from a standing position. The long and high jumpers will also use a shorter approach.

CORRECTION

IT was incorrectly stated in Monday’s edition of Tribune Sports that coach George Cleare was dismissed as an assistant coach at the University of Georgia and is back in town to launch his High Performance Management Team. In fact, it should be noted that Cleare’s contract expired. The Tribune apologises to Cleare for any misunderstanding.
