Linden enters final day leading in the Cycling and Track & Field Championships.

With an unassailable lead in the Cycling and Track & Field Championships, Upper Demerara/Kwakwani (Linden) District 10 are in an almost certain position to capture their 14th National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field title. As things stand, District 10 look poised to take a win of the track and field competition, where they are currently in the lead with 525.5 points after the completion of 91 finals.
The Lindeners were also in the lead of the cycling championships after 14 finals with 117 points. Meanwhile they also entered today in the teachers’ championships where they were in second place with 197 points after completing 49 finals.
The teachers’ championships are currently being led by West Demerara District 3 with 234 points after 49 finals.
The only segment of the championships completed so far is the swimming competition, which concluded since Monday. That division was won by North Georgetown District, while District 10 ended in second place.
Though District 10 are the defending champions of the track and field competition of the championships, North Georgetown are the defending over-all champions, and the big question on every spectator’s mind today will be whether North Georgetown will be able to defend their title, or will they concede to Linden.
North Georgetown team began reigning as the champions since 2012 when they took the title from District 10.
In the track and field championships, North Georgetown enter today holding on strong in second with 374 points, it appears doubtful that they would be able to catch up with the Lindeners.
In other points standing, Corentyne District 6 continue in third place with 299 points, but with West Coast Berbice District 5 close on their heels having 295.5 points. West Demerara District 3 athletes are still fighting their way through so far with 281 points, and New Amsterdam District 15 with 263.5 points.
East Coast District 4, South Georgetown District 12, Essequibo Coast/Pomeroon District 2, and North West District 1 follow with 211.5, 229, 209.5, and 208.5 points respectively.
In cycling North Georgetown have 26 points after 14 finals, barely making it into the top ten, while in the teacher’s championships they are in fourth with 173 points.
District 6 cyclists manage at second place with 95 points, while Distrcit 4 cyclists occupy third place with 58 points.
