DEFENDING champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (Multi) retained their overall Champion of Champions crown in the Inter-Secondary School Track and Field, Swimming, Cycling and Teachers championships.

Yesterday the organisers, Upper Demerara/Kwakwani District 10 Schools Committee, confirmed Multi’s retention in the four categories, at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground.
By virtue of winning of the ‘teachers’ and ‘cycling’ segments of the championships, Multi were able to lift the overall trophy; despite their loss in track and field to Mackenzie High School (MHS). Confusion had crept in on Thursday night after the Christianburg/Wismar Secondary lost track and field to MHS.

Many, including some officials, felt that Linden Foundation had carted off the overall title. But this was not the case. A recount the next day determined that ‘Multi’ team had successfully retained their crown.
Multi, by winning the Teachers and Cycling titles placing third in the Track and Field and fourth in Swimming, amassed 71 points.

Placing second were Linden Foundation Secondary, who copped one title, and placed second and third in two others to gain 68.5 points. They pipped MHS, who came out with one win in the track and field and got a second place and a fifth position to accumulate 68.5 points.

The swimming championship was held at the Watooka Pool.
No details of the individual performances were available in any of the four categories of the annual championship.
