MONTEGO BAY, St James — World and Olympic champion Veronica Campbell Brown will headline a strong contingent of Jamaican and Caribbean athletes scheduled to take part in the adidas Grand Prix, an IAAF Diamond League track meet to be held at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island on Saturday, May 25.

Campbell Brown, who has won both sprints at this event, is scheduled to run the 200m at the meet where nearly 24 Jamaican athletes are expected to take part in several events. World Championships finalist Anneisha McLaughlin has been listed to run the 200m as well.

A number of high school relay teams from Jamaica, including Vere Technical, Munro College and Manchester high are also expected to compete against their American counterparts at the meet.
