Original story with date and time removed

The Cayman Islands Athletic Association (CIAA) will be hosting the annual Truman Bodden Track

The Meet, which is sponsored by noted Attorney-at-Law Mr. Truman Bodden, has been staged for over 20 years and is one of the major Meets of the Association’s calendar. Mr. Bodden has been an enthusiastic supporter of track and field in the Cayman Islands for well in excess of two decades as well as the Association and has assisted in obtaining corporate sponsorship from other local business houses.

With the Inter-Primary Championships and 2013 CARIFTA looming, it is expected that there will be a large turnout of local athletes competing at this Meet in preparation for the international season.

All Athletes, both senior and junior will be out in full force in the hope of qualifying for CARIFTA, CAC Age Group, IAAF World Youth among others.
