The Cayman Islands Athletic Association (CIAA) will be hosting the annual Truman Bodden Track Meet on Thursday, 14 March starting at 6:00pm and continues on Friday, 15 March starting at 6:00pm at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex.

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 on 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 and has assisted in obtaining corporate sponsorship from other local business houses.

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