Naggo Head retain Primary Schools’ Athletics Championships

DEFENDING champions Naggo Head Primary, with a combined score of 192 points, retained their title at the 33rd staging of the 2013 Insports/Seprod Primary Schools’ Athletics Championships, which ended at the National Stadium yesterday.

The Floyd Coke-coached aggregation from Portmore was winning the championships for a fifth consecutive year after sustaining challenges from New Providence, who were second with 166.50 points, Greater Portmore, 159, and St John’s, who finished fourth with 111.50 points.

The top four schools are from the parish of St Catherine.

New Providence, however, turned the tables by capturing the girls’ section with 97 points ahead of Greater Portmore on 93 and St John’s with 87 points, as Naggo Head finished in fourth place with 64 points.

The boys’ section was won by Naggo Head with 128 points ahead of New Providence on 69.50, Southborough on 68, and Greater Portmore with 66 points.

Meanwhile, the Class One girls’ 100 metres final was won by Rosea Lee Cooper in 12.84 seconds. Cooper returned to capture the sprint double by winning the Class One 200 metres final in 26.58 seconds.

John Vernon of Time and Patience captured the Class One boys’ sprint double, the 100m in 11.97 seconds and the 200 metres in 24.98 seconds.

Another record went crashing in the Class Three boys’ 4x100m relay by Naggo Head winning in a time of 53.61 seconds.

Angels captured the girls’ 800m sprint medley open with a record run of 2:00.09 to shatter the old mark of 2:00.93 set by Naggo Head in 2009, with the boys’ 800m sprint medley won by Rousseau in 1:54.17 minutes.
