Action from the 2019 staging of the Purewater/JC/R. Danny Williams Invitational Development Meet, at the JC Ashenheim Stadium.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness has denied approval for the 28th staging of the Purewater/JC/R. Danny Williams Invitational Development Meet amidst the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The meet, which over the years signalled the start of the local track and field season, was scheduled for Saturday at the JC Ashenheim Stadium, but on Thursday health authorities said it was not safe to go ahead with the meet.
The Ted Dwyer Classics, which was also scheduled for Saturday, also did not receive approval from health authorities. That meet was set for the Courtney Walsh Oval at Excelsior High School.
