Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, has described the late Freddie Green as one of the finest athletes and sports administrators Jamaica has produced.Mr. Green, the former General Secretary of the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association, died on Sunday. “Freddie Green was a kind and affable man,” said Minister Grange, who also offered condolences to Freddie Green’s family and friends. “He was a sportsman through and through. He was an outstanding athlete from his high school days when he represented Kingston College in three disciplines — football, cricket, and track and field — helping them to win national titles in all three. Later, he became a teacher of physical education, a football coach, Director of Sports at the University of the West Indies, General Secretary of ISSA for more than 30 years, and an IAAF track official. He also found time to represent Jamaica in volleyball. Freddie served sports faithfully throughout his life and is one of the finest athletes and sports administrators Jamaica has produced.” Green was seen as one of the key figures who orchestrated the merger between the ISSA Boys and Girls Championships in 1999, which made the annual athletics meet one of the largest high school track meets in the world.
