Olympians Rosemarie White, Bobby-Gaye Wilkins and Anastasia Le-Roy, all of G.C. Foster College, scored victories to help their team win the Inter-Collegiate Track & Field Championships yesterday.

The two-day championships, which took place at GC Foster College, saw the hosts tallying an overall 399 points to beat University of Technology (UTech) 377, University of the West Indies (UWI) 256 and Mico 69.5. G.C. Foster (214) topped the female section while Utech (187) were the men's champions.

In the women's 200m, Le-Roy stopped the clock in 23.29 seconds. Le-Roy, who recovered after a very slow start, used her top end speed to edge her former Holmwood Technical teammates, Anneisha McLaughlin, now at UTech (23.32) and Schillonie Calvert (23.58), also of G.C. Foster College.

Le-Roy (11.28) also had a good showing in the women's 100m, where she was second to Calvert, who won in 11.18. They were helped by a 3.1 metres-per-second wind.

White, who reached the final of the 400m in Beijing, after which she helped Jamaica to bronze in the 4x400m, took the 400m hurdles in 59.89.

Women's 800

Wilkins, who was a member of Jamaica's quartet for the heats of the 4x400m in Beijing, took the women's 800m in 2:10.43 ahead of Kaliese Spencer, the 2006 World Junior 400m hurdles champion, who did 2:12.32.

Andre Wellington, another Olympian on show, competing for UTech, was fifth in the men's 200m in 21.75.

G.C. Foster College's Ryan Wright took the event by almost five metres ahead of Winston Barnes, also of UTech, who clocked 21.43.

In the men's 100m final, which came with a supporting wind of 3.6m/s, UTech's Kimmari Roche (10.19) beat GC Foster College's Rasheed Dwyer (10.21).

Tanice Barnett took the 1500m and 3000m events, with times of 4:40.91 and 10:28.28, respectively.

Tanesha Blair, in the women's javelin, and UTech's Odayne Richards, in the men's discus, were two notable record-breakers.

Blair, the national junior record-holder, threw 47.67m to break her own mark of 46.08m, which was established in 2008.

Richards, in the discus, threw 49.28m to erase the previous mark of 47.50m.

In other field events, UTech's pair of Ramon Cooper, who topped men's long and triple jump events with leaps of 7.12m and 15.16m, and Megan Reid, who did 12.39m in the women's triple jump, along with UWI's Darrel Garwood (2.05m) in the high jump, were also winners.
