Kamloops Track and Field Club seeing Harry Jerome partnership as opportunity to bring more meets to the city
KAMLOOPS — The Harry Jerome International Track Classic has been going for nearly 60 years, renamed after the iconic Canadian track star in 1984.
It’s a premiere meet that’s been a stepping stone for some local and international athletes to the Olympics. The premise of this year’s meet is the same, giving athletes the platform to compete, but it will look different and Kamloops will play a role as host for the throws events, including shot put, discus and hammer throw.
Kamloops Track and Field Club coach Dylan Armstrong wanted to be a part of this unique opportunity.
