ANGELS, St Catherine -- Holmwood Technical High topped the money list by winning $157,000 as the second Milo Junior Grand Prix series came to an end at the GC Foster Classic at Angels, St Catherine.

Holmwood, who won the boys' 4x800m section with 68 points, also finished in the top three in the other three sections to take the largest share of the $500,000 prize offered by the sponsors.

Edwin Allen High, who took the girls' 4x800m section with a perfect 72 points in the six-meet series and were second in the 4x400m, will collect $105,000, while Manchester High get $92,000.

Munro College, who won the boys' 4x400m section and Wolmer's Boys', who were third, became the first non-central Jamaica-based institutions to win money in the series.
