Holmwood looks to clamp down on indiscipline

Holmwood Technical coach Maurice Wilson has disclosed that attitudinal problems could lead to his team not fielding their strongest Class One 4x100m team at tomorrow's Gibson Relays.

"There may be one or two persons who might not run because of attitude problems," Wilson told Star Sports.

The coach made it clear that he hoped such a move would "show the youngsters that we are not in the business of winning at all cost".

"The possibility exists that we might not field our strongest team, because we are not going to compromise certain principles," Wilson added

"We refuse to compromise on certain principles just to win a particular race."

Wilson maintains that in addition to track and field it is important for his wards to see the bigger picture.

"We are trying to let persons understand that there is a lot more values to be taken from life, than just to win," said Wilson, who has guided Holmwood to seven-straight Girls' Champs titles.

"If persons are not willing to adhere to the rules and regulations, then they are not going to run."

A final decision on the team the coach said will be made by tomorrow.

Shericka Moulton, Yanique Ellington, Samantha Woodburn, Nickeisha Beaumont, Petra Fanty and Arnella Livingston are considered to be the big names on Holmwood's 4x100m team.
