James denies reports he has turned "PRO"


TUSCALOOSA, June 17, 2011 - One of Grenada’s top quarter-miler Kirani James has denied reports that he has turned professional.

A report in an Alabama-based sports web portal claimed that James, who won his second NCAA championship in the 400m last weekend, is turning professional.

However, James said that he has not turned professional and is still a student-athlete at the University of Alabama.

“I have not turned professional yet and as long as you don’t hear it directly from me, I am a student-athlete at the University of Alabama,” James said in a brief statement.
