About
The “Sprint Factory” AKA Camperdown Track and Field Alumni Association stands as a beacon for preserving the rich legacies of athletes who have passed through its hallowed grounds located at 6B Camperdown Road, Kingston 16, Jamaica. Born from the sweat, dedication, and triumphs of sprinters and field athletes, this association embodies the spirit of excellence and camaraderie that defines the world of track and field through our greats who paved the way.
This organization started in April 2022 at Penn Relays by a couple of past student-athletes whose passion and desire to give back to the Original “Sprint Factory” sparked a flame that still burns to this day. The past students who curated the idea reached out to several other student-athletes to join forces. In May 2022, the group met and decided to move forward with hosting fundraising events to support the Track and Field program. In September of 2022, the organization hosted its first fundraising event and hasn’t looked back.
Camperdown Track and Field Alumni Association was incorporated in January 2023 as a non-profit organization.
The purpose and goal of the Camperdown Track and Field Alumni Association is to raise money through various platforms and events and then donate 100% back to the school.
