WINDERMERE When new Windermere Prep track-and-field coach Dwight Thomas, a former Olympic sprinter for Jamaica, returned from the Summer Games in Rio, he did so with a souvenir.

Track stars Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell, former teammates of Thomas’, each signed a Windermere Prep polo shirt that Athletic Director Jacob Doss plans to hang prominently somewhere on campus.

Both men earned gold medals at the Summer Games — Powell and Bolt teamed up as part of Jamaica's 4x100-meter relay team and Bolt won individual gold medals in the 100-meters and 200-meters.
