Marigot Development Corporation secures a Sports Scholarship for 2017 Carifta Gold Medalist Keyon Burton

The Marigot Development Corporation (MDC), has secured a sports scholarship for Keyon Burton, to attend college in the United States, under the Sports component of its “Study in the US Program”.  Keyon is now a student-athlete at the Iowa Western Community College (IWCC). He has decided to major in Business Administration.
 
The IWCC head coach is very excited to have Keyon join his team. He sees Keyon as a very good prospect and is anticipating success for him in the upcoming NJCAA Outdoor Competition.  Keyon is the gold medalist of the 2017 CARIFTA Games in the javelin event, and joins Zellie Charles and Chelsey Linton in the MDC program. The Sports component of the “Study in the US Program” targets mainly performing student-athletes of the WESMAR Rangers Athletic Club, with the ability to leverage their talents into US college opportunities.
 
Michael Pascal, Coordinator, says he is very pleased that the MDC was able to secure an athletic scholarship for a third youth of the community. He recognizes all the persons in Keyon's life and MDC's extended network who have made this possible. At the top of his list are Keyon's mother, Ms. Claire Burton and Mr. Godwin Dorsette, coach of the WesMar Rangers, without whom Keyon's achievements as a student-athlete would not be possible.
 
Special thanks go to MDC's network of supporters, who provided gear and other supplies for Keyon's transition into the NJCAA system. Mention is made of the MCCU, Grace Foundation, Brian Linton, Jeff Pascal, Byron Winston, Arthur Riley, Maysill Pascal, Damon Jno. Baptiste and Tarik Pascal.  The MDC looks forward to stellar performances both on and off the field from Keyon, and commit to sharing his progress with the public.
