Excelsior were crowned winners of the two-day Institute of Sports (INSPORTS)/Basic Schools Track and Field Championships which closed with a rain-affected schedule at the National Stadium yesterday.
After several rain delays, none of the scheduled 25 finals went off, thus forcing organisers to use the results from the semi-finals and preliminary rounds to decide the winners.
In the end, Excelsior tallied 159 points to finish ahead of Elim Early Childhood Development Centre (79), Ascot (69), Citizens Advice Bureau/RJR (75) and Silverstone (45).
Excelsior also topped the boys' and girls' sections, with 67 and 92 points, respectively. Elim (62) and Ascot (49) were second and third, respectively, in the girls' section, while Covenant (53) and Citizens' Advice Bureau/RJR (45) were the respective runners-up in the boys' division.
Brittany Chung of Excelsior, who won the Class One girls' 80m in 13.52, was the champion in her class. D-Andre Crossdale, also of Excelsior, was the top Class Two girl, while Dayah Williams of Ascot took Class Three honours.
On the boys' side, Joshua Jackson, the meet's lone double winner after taking the 40m obstacle in 11.52 and 30m in 5.66, was crowned Class Three champion. Raheem McPherson of St Francis and Kyle-Anthony Grant of Excelsior were the respective Class One and Two champions.
