FRESH off his gold medal performance at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, last week, long jumper LaQuan Nairn surprised the participants of the Corey Francis Community Tennis Summer Camp.

Nairn showed up at the camp yesterday at the Percy Munnings Park in Sunset Park where he displayed his medal, and talked and interacted with more than a dozen of the campers.

Francis, the camp organiser, said it was a real treat to have Nairn in attendance.

Francis, a certified tennis coach, noted that he was able to reach out to the campers in such a meaningful way because many of them got to be around a gold medallist for the first time.
