gh versus Multi Old School/ New School’ track and field championship set for Sunday, Independence Day, at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground.
Butcher who dominated the Nationals as a MHS student feels that the idea of having the two top secondary schools, Mackenzie High School and Christianburg Wismar Secondary ‘Multi’ challenge each other in what is expected the first of many such meets augurs well for the promotion of the sport in his hometown.
He has given a cash donation for the staging of the event and feels obligated to do what he can to assist the two former athletes of the Mackenzie High School’s, Erwin Shawn McNeil also known as ‘Baldhead’ and Floyd Cameron who attended the Chistianburg Wismar Secondary ‘Multi’ in this bold initiative.’
Butcher said it is obvious that Linden continues to have talent in sports and this he said was evident in the continued winnings ways at the National School s Athletics, Swimming and Cycling championships where Linden, District 10 (Upper Demerara/ Kwawkani) remains the top region at this level of the sport.
Butcher, who represented Guyana as a member of a three man team at the 1st World Juniors in 1986 in Greece, said the sponsors need to support McNeil and Cameron in this venture since the schools will benefit also as it is reported that Mackenzie school and the Christianburg Wismar Secondary will receive $100,000 and a smart television.
The Independence Day Mackenzie High versus Multi track meet will have races for the past students and those currently attending school in selected races which will have spectator interest.
