Jamaica track and field coach quits after 22 years
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP)—Usain Bolt’s coach will continue working with the Olympic champion and world record holder even though he is stepping down as Jamaica’s national team coach after 22 years.
Glen Mills told The Associated Press on Friday he felt it was time to resign, saying, “There are a lot of coaches who are making their mark.”
Bolt set three world records last year at the Beijing Olympics and broke those marks again in the 100 and 200 meters in August at the world championships.
Under Mills, the team won 71 world championships medals and 33 Olympic medals.
