Nevis continues to shine on the international sporting stage as Shirvon Greene, a proud son of Nevis and Head Coach at Monroe University – New Rochelle, New York, has been recognized among the Top Black Head Coaches in NJCAA Division I Women’s Track & Field.

The recognition, highlighted by the Black Coaches Association, places Greene among an elite group of coaches making a major impact in junior college athletics across the United States. The ranking, listed according to USTFCCCA performance standings, celebrates Black head coaches whose programmes have demonstrated excellence, competitiveness, leadership and national relevance in women’s track and field.
