With the Public School System/McDonald’s All Schools Track and Field Championships still suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, moving the annual competition to the Fall season has become an option.
“That’s a possibility, but events may be limited and we have to concur the decision with our partners—the Public School System, the private schools, and McDonald’s,” said Ramon Tebuteb, president of Northern Marianas Athletics—the lead organizer of the All Schools.
The All Schools meet is NMA’s grassroots program and has produced talented athletes who represented the CNMI in international tournaments, such as the World Championships and the Oceania Area Championships. The event has also served as a training ground for young athletes wanting to don the Commonwealth colors in regional competitions like the Micronesian Games and Micronesian Championships.
