Following a decision arrived at an Executive Committee meeting, Susanthika Jayasinghe will be handed over the National Athletic Pool, where she would be responsible of designing, implementing new strategies and maintaining successful Junior and Senior athletic pools.
Olympic medalist Jayasinghe has been awarded with the opportunity, as the SLAA Executive Committee had decided to ascribe precise duties to the seven Vice Presidents serving under the SLAA.
