STORRS, Conn. (June 22, 2008) - University of Connecticut women's track and field sprints and hurdles coach, Clive Terrelonge, was featured in the Jamaica Observer for his great achievements as a track and field coach.

Terrelonge just finished his fourth season at UConn, a year in which the Huskies won their first ECAC outdoor women's championship title. He has led many talented sprinters and hurdlers as an assistant coach for the Huskies, including freshman Trisha-Ann Hawthorne (Elmsford, N.Y.), who qualified for the NCAA Championship this season in both the 100 meter and 200 meter dash, while also making the Under-23 Jamaican National Team.

The NCAA Division III Track and Field Hall of Famer has used his knowledge and experience as a former international athlete to help the Huskies in taking a huge step in the very competitive BIG EAST Conference. He has notably coached many student-athletes to All-BIG EAST and All-ECAC status, as well as New England Championship titles.

Terrelonge is a two-time Olympian and a World Champion for Jamaica, while also being a 19-time All-American.

Terrelonge traveled to Bydgoszcz earlier this month to guide Hawthorne in competition, as she competed in the 200 meter dash at the 12th World Junior Championships. Hawthorne, unfortunately, could not compete in the semifinals of the 200 meter dash or the 4x100 meter relay as she was withdrawn by the team's physician Dr. Charmaine Scott.

Hawthorne was also featured on the Armory Track website for her recent success with making the Jamaican team.
