…Three records tumble in field events
IT was a close battle between a dominant District 10 (Upper Demerara/Kwakwani) and District 7 (Cuyuni Mazaruni) for the Cycling title at this year’s National Schools’ Championships but it was the former who took it home to enhance their overall title prospects.
District 10 amassed 245 points to win ahead of District 7 on 228 points and District Six (Corentyne) on 204 points.
They were the only districts to accumulate more than 200 points from the Road Race on Sunday around the outer circuit of the National Park and the Finals on Monday on the inner circuit.
The standout performer for District 10 was national rider Clivecia Spencer, who was unbeaten in all her events.
Meanwhile, Track and Field action commenced, and three records fell in the field.
Ranetta Liverpool of District 15 (New Amsterdam) had a throw of 34.43m in the Girls U-18 Javelin to erase the record of 27.00m set by Prudence Codrington of South Georgetown in 2017.
More so, Santos Osafodos of District 15 set a new record in the male Teachers Shot Put U-41 with a throw of 16.42m to erase the record of 12.57m set by Roy Haney of District 3 in 2017.
Saliq McClmont of District 10 had a best of 23.89m to win the female U-21 Discus and also reset the record of 19.23m held by Marika Tyrell of District 7 in 2017.
Track and Field action continues today until Friday at the National Track and Field Facility, Leonora, West Coast Demerara.
