Calabar High’s track and field team boycotted Thursday’s (16 March) Champs launch.
Andrea Hardware, the team’s manager, said they boycotted the launch because ISSA failed acknowledge their concerns regarding Ugandan Aryamany Rodgers.
ISSA at a meeting last week voted to allow Rodgers to compete for Kingston College at this year’s Champs.
Hardware, who was speaking on Hitz 92 FM’s Sports Explosion, explained the reason behind their decision.
“As a school family we are saying to ISSA that they need to tell us what led to the decision. Let us understand what the extenuating circumstances are so that we can make an informed decision as to whether or not those decision were made fairly and will infact create a fair environment for competition,” she said.
