Twelve records were accounted for at the 30th renewal of the Gibson Relays at the National Stadium on Saturday. The meet, which was fairly attended, had patrons on the edge at times, especially when the fastest man went down on the track and anchored his MVP sprint relay team to victory in a new time of 39.18 seconds, while the female team was in spanking form clocking 43.60 for their sprint relay.
Kingston College accounted for three records - class one 400m relay and class three in new times of 40.38 and 44.04 respectively, and the class three boys erased the 4x200 record in the heats clocking 1 minute 31.55 and returned to capture the final in 1 minute 33.76.
