All hail to Neville Hodge (right, giving tips to Dennis Mitchell, Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion in Barcelona at the 1992 Olympic Games). Neville is one of the first men over 40 years of age ever to run under 11 seconds in the 100 meters. Neville has represented the Virgin Islands in high school; in college at Morgan State University where he achieved All-America status. He is the Head Coach at Morgan State where he also continues to recruit and trained many of the V.I.'s top sprinters. He has competed in the Olympic Games and is the V.I. Olympic Coach.
The St.Croix Educational Complex Track & Field Team celebrates its victory in the girls Sprint Medley. Amadeo I.D.Francis, IAAF Vice-President, shares the moment with fellow Virgin Islanders.
How to become a member of the Virgin Islands National Team
To become a member of a Virgin Islands National Track and Field Team is an honor and a privilege which lives forever. The steps required include: Register annually with the Federation. All athletes and coaches must register to become eligible for selection to a team provided the requirements for residency are met. Once this is achieved, the standards for qualification must be met. With exception of local and most regional competition, qualifying standards are set by the international governing bodies including: the International Amateur Athletic Federation and the International Olympic Committee. These standards will be listed on this web site as they are established.
