Champs, Champs 2012, Sports
BY PAUL A REID Observer writer reidp@jamaicaobserver.com  
March 27, 2012

Vere’s Allen takes first Champs gold

VERE Technical’s Sabina Allen, won the first gold medal at this year’s ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls championships at the national stadium after she defended her triple jump Open title.

Allen produced a personal best 12.83m on her final attempt to lead a ‘quinella’ for the Clarendon school as Shardia Lawrence took the silver with 12.40m and St Elizabeth Technical’s Opal James took the bronze with 12.13m.

Allen, the bronze medalist from last year’s Commonwealth Youth Championships in the Isle of Man, said she had expected to win but the personal best mark was a bonus.
