MVP TRACK CLUB RECEIVES SPONSORSHIP—10/29/05
The Maximizing Velocity and Power Track Club, home of the world’s fastest man Asafa Powell, was given a timely financial boost yesterday. The National Commerce Bank Jamaica Limited, presented the club with a $6 million check in a four-year sponsorship of the University of Technology-based MVP Track Club, which will help prepare athletes for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Top members of the club include Powell, World Championship medalists Michael Frater and Brigitte Foster-Hylton and Olympic gold medalists Sherone Simpson and Tanya Lawrence. Lee Chin, chairman of the bank, said he was inspired after watching the Olympics on TV. He believes the contribution will help the MVP accomplish its goals for the upcoming games.
