While perennial champs Althea Scatliffe continued its
dominance of the Inter Primary Schools A Division Championships, there was seismic
shifts among the pursuers.
Unlike a year ago when "the Mighty Scatliffe" was only able
to secure just the 13+ Girls sprint crown among boys and girls and found
themselves in the unusual position of trailing, this time they got strong
production in the U9 and 13+ Divisions, to amass 428 points-58 more than last
year.
Francis Lettsome moved from third to second by holding off the
charging Virgin Gorda's Bregado Flax-who jumped from seventh to third-by four points,
283-279.
St. Georges placed fourth as they did last year with 237,
while Enis Adams dropped from second to fifth after amassing 216 points.
Willard Wheatley dropped two spots to sixth and finished with 205, while
Ebenezer Thomas slipped a spot to seventh with 165. Cedar rounded out the competition
with 22.
There were a series of close battles for the eight division
titles at stake. Althea Scattlife's Tamri Thomas edged Bregado Flax's Makeda
Daniel by a point for the U9 Girls Division title, 26-25. Althea Scatliffe's
Tiondre Frett easily secured the Boys Division.
A'Sia McMaster of Enis Adams shared the U11 Girls Division
crown with St. Georges' Chidinma Emalandu-both garnering 26. Althea Scatliffe's
Kaleem Lettsome was the Boys winner with 30.
Jahtivyah Williams was two points better than Enis Adams' A'Keela
McMaster to take the U13 Girls title with 20. Kyron Walwyn of St. Georges was the
run away winner for the Boys segment after securing 30 points.
Althea Scatliffe's Ariyah Smith notched 30 points to claim the
13+ Girls class while Francis Lettsome's Kadeem Pena edged Althea Scatliffe's
Shammah Peters, 26-24 for the Boys equivalent.
Althea Scatliffe's Ariyah Smith won the Victrix Ludorum with
30 points, while St. Georges' Kyron Walwyn and Althea Scatliffe's Kalem
Lettsome, shared the Victor with 30.
