Fraser

Shelly-Ann Fraser and Melaine Walker head a list of Olympians down to take part in this afternoon's second University of Technology (UTech) Track & Field Classic at the National Stadium, beginning at 5 p.m.

However, concerns have been raised about the fitness of Fraser, the Olympic 100m women's champion.

She is expected to compete alongside GC Foster College's Rosemarie White, who ran the third leg of Jamaica's bronze medal 4x400m team in Beijing, national representative Moya Thompson and Latoya King of Racers Track Club, the 2005 World Youth 100m bronze medalist.

No asafa

Bailey and Frater

Asafa Powell, who at the launch said he would run the 200m, was nowhere to be found on the start list.

When contacted yesterday for a comment on the Maximising Velocity and Power (MVP) athletes who are scheduled to participate, the group's assistant coach, Paul Francis, who is also the meet director, said "no comment".

Olympic 400m hurdles champion Walker is down to run the 400m invitational event where she will face Sonita Sutherland and GC Foster College's Anastasia Le-Roy, who was part of Jamaica's team in Beijing.

Other Olympians scheduled to participate are sprint hurdler Brigitte Foster-Hylton and male sprinters Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Trinidad and Tobago's Darrell Brown and Barbadian Andrew Hinds, all of MVP, along with Bobby-Gaye Wilkins of GC Foster College, St Kitts/Nevis' Kim Collins and Antiguan Daniel Bailey of Racers Track Club.

The men's invitational 200m field will include Carter and Frater, both members of Jamaica's world record-breaking 4x100m quartet in Beijing, Racers' Commonwealth Games 400m bronze medallist Jermaine Gonzales, as well as Collins.

National representative Lerone Clarke will join Brown, Bailey and Hinds in the invitational men's 100m, while World Championships sprint hurdles double medallist Foster-Hylton, along with former junior stars Schillonie Calvert and Anneisha McLaughlin, will compete in the women's event.

Wilkins, a member of Jamaica's 4x400m bronze medal winning team in Beijing, will run in the 400m for college athletes.

Apart from the top stars, more than 150 athletes from the United States, Cuba, United Kingdom, Sweden, The Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, Liberia, Senegal, Columbia, Korea and Norway are confirmed to compete at the invitation-only track meet.
