The Auburn Plainsman: Things seem to be rolling right along for Auburn's own Caribbean track and field treasure.

Assistant
women's track and field coach Henry Rolle was born in the town of
Freeport on Grand Bahama, where track is the most popular sport.

It was here he ran the 100-meter dash and hurdles while attending a private Catholic high school of about 400 students.

Rolle said life was fun growing up in the Bahamas, and he was quite the typical island boy.
