The Fourth staging of the Camperdown Classic took place on Saturday, February 9th, 2008. For the 2008 4th renewal of the Camperdown Classics, the school wishes to recognize the effort of one of our greatest sons, Donald Quarrie.

The list below chronicles some of his greatest achievements and contribution to the field of athletics both locally and internationally.  The Camperdown community wishes to use this medium to recognize one of our greatest sons, not only as a source of encouragement for the Camperdown family but for our fellow Jamaican both locally and throughout the Diaspora.
