ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, June 28, 2011 - The St George's University is host to a two-week training camp for Grenadian athletes preparing for the Central American and Caribbean Senior Athletics Championships in Puerto Rico next month.

Three US-based athletes have joined another three at home for the camp which began on Monday and runs until July 13. Coach Albert Joseph is overseeing the athletes who are preparing for July 15-17 championships at the Estadio Jose Antonio Figueroa in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

Olympians Trish Bartholomew and Allison George as well as Kansas-based quarter-miler Keron Toussaint have joined local athletes Kemon Herry, Devon St Paul and Josh Charles for the training camp.

The athletes are being accommodated at the St George's University for the duration of the camp. The SGU is among private sector organisations which have expressed support for Grenada's preparations for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
