Jauavney James rocks Kirkvine as four records go

Kirkvine, Manchester — St Elizabeth Technical High School’s Jauavney James broke two of the four records at the 23rd staging of the Puma/JAAA Charlie Fuller meet at Kirkvine last Saturday.

James, who picked up where he left off last season in his first year at Class Two when he won the event at the ISSA Boys’ and Girls’ Championships, sounded a warning by taking the 800m in 2 minutes, 03.70 seconds, to erase Lewisville’s Orette Ramikee’s 2 minutes 04.00 seconds set in 2002. He returned to take the 400m in a 50.70 seconds, running out of lane nine an erasing Kingston College’s Chadayne Walker’s 51 seconds set in 2012.

The other records to go were in the Class Two girls’ 400 m where Junelle Bromfield of STETHS registered 56.20 seconds to erase the previous mark of 56.90 seconds set by Holmwood Technical’s Anastasia Leroy in 2005; and the boys’ Classy One 400m where Rogay Granstan of Holmwood posted 48.40 seconds to equal the record of Greg Little of Wolmer’s.
