HISTORY

Glen Mills started his coaching career as a student of Camperdown High School during the 1960’s. There, under the guidance of Coach Mc D Messam, he learned the art by assisting during after school hours. Later, he succeeded Mr. Messam as Camperdown’s coach, a position he held until 1999. Those were the days that earned Camperdown the name, Sprint Factory.
In 1987 he was named National Coach. In 2009 he retired from that position to make way, he said, for younger coaches.
In the 1980’s Racers was born.A small group of athletes from Camperdown and Kingston College were encouraged to continue their athletic development after high school, by training at the club. In 2009, the club was re-launched.
