RANDALL'S ISLAND, New York - Calabar High made it three wins in a row over St Jago High in the high school boys 4x100m at yesterday's fourth staging of the Reebok Grand Prix at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island, New York.
Calabar also won the 4x400m relays to sweep the high school boys events.

Calabar's anchor-leg runner, Oshane Bailey, made up at least eight metres on St Jago's anchor-leg runner, Adolphus Nevers, as they added to their win at the Penn Relays a month ago in Philadelphia and in Class 1 at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys' Champs.
Jamaica's third team, Herbert Morrison High, failed to finish after Dean Francis collided with the Calabar starter, Andrew Riley, and fell to the track.
Riley, Warren Weir, Earle Lee and Bailey clocked a fast 40.33 seconds to edge St Jago 40.63 seconds.
Calabar's coach, Michael Clarke, said he was pleased with the run but was hoping for a sub-40 seconds time.
Herbert Morrison girls, thanks to their brilliant anchor-leg runner, Antonique Campbell, finished second in the girls 4x100m in 47.60 seconds, beaten by Boys and Girls High of Brooklyn in 47.32 seconds.
St Jago did not defend the high school boys Mile Relay which Calabar also won in 3:16.60 seconds ahead of Fordham Prep with Herbert Morrison third in 3:18.38 seconds.
