KC’s Bouwahjgie Nkrumie turned in one of the performances of the day in winning the blue-ribbon Class One, 100m in a record 10.40 seconds, dipping below the previous best of 10.45 held by his schoolmate Roshaun Rowe since 2020.

On the girls’ side, Mickaila Haisley of Immaculate High lowered the Class Two 100m of 12.01 held by Renee Shaw since 2015 to 11.91. Shelly-Ann Taylor of champions Excelsior High also erased the Class Three record clocking 11.54.
