The Games are Here!

Campus athletes were alive and kicking last week –at the bi-annual Staff Inter-Campus Games where Cave Hill, Barbados, kicked in to high gear to defend the championship title. Over 200 athletes travelled to the St. Augustine Campus from our Jamaica (Mona) and Barbados (Cave Hill) campuses to compete in track and field, basketball, netball and football events, among others. The week-long event was held in honour of the late UWI Manager, Ms Gloria Baptiste. The athletes enjoyed the sport and well as the cultural nights where Campus teams hosted evenings where the teams enjoyed great foodand entertainment. For Mark Lewis, an athlete from the Mona, Jamaica Campus, who spoke with us on the second day of the Games it was an interesting time. “Everything is going a lot smoother as we go along. It’s really been going well and [watching the Olympics on TV] has given team members a chance to interact.” Mark is a final year student at the Mona Campus in Jamaica, where he also works as an administrative assistant in the tudent Services department. He’s taking part in the basketball and volleyball games at UWI SPEC and the track and field events at the Larry Gomes stadium. Congrats to Mark and all our athletes!
