Olympian Clay to hold clinic next month

Olympic decathlon silver medalist Bryan Clay will join six other world-class athletes in conducting a free track and field clinic from 9 to 11 a.m. on Dec. 11 at Kaiser High School as part of Honolulu Marathon week.

Clay, a Castle graduate who ended his prep sports career at Kaiser's track in a state championship meet in which he set four event records that still stand, is the first Hawaii athlete to win an Olympic medal in track and field.

Clay will demonstrate javelin throwing. Olympic shot put silver medalist Adam Nelson and U.S. champion high-jumper Jamie Nieto will also perform. They will be joined by U.S. 100-meter hurdler Danielle Carruthers and three Irish national track and field record holders.
