H. Michael Vassell
The Kingston College track & field team incorporated the Youngster Goldsmith Hurdles & Field Events Classics in February 1998, and through the continued success and demand for the events that are offered, the meet has managed to maintain its place on the annual Jamaica Amateur Athletics Association (JAAA), calendar of events.

The refurbished Stadium East Complex only adds luster to the quality of the event.
