Overseas STARS

It is not only here in Barbados that our athletes are performing well, but also in the United States.
At the University of Texas at El Paso(UTEP),former Harrisonian Keisha Walkes was recently received a major award for academics in her conference. Keisha has a perfect grade point average(GPA) of 4.0 and is doing studies in the field of medicine. She has also been performing well in athletics in the discus.

At Central Arizona College,former Lester Vaughan sprint queen Liann Kellman in her first year of a track and field scholarship has just run 11.77 secs.

Congrats and further Good Luck to these two girls !
