Summary Edwin Allen has now won three consecutive titles and based on these Championship results, will continue to be strong contenders. In fact, Edwin Allen continues to be strong in the lower classes, so the graduation of their senior athletes will not have a serious effect on next year’s Championship hopes. They continued to be very competitive in the jumping events, an area where they used to be quite weak, but were less than dominant in the throws, an area in which they were traditionally strong. Of course, Hydel has become stronger contenders year after year and they would have noticed that the margin of victory in 2016 was sixty seven points, much less than the 100 point margin in 2015. A quick look at the scoring tables show that Hydel matched Edwin Allen’s scores in the hurdles and throws. They were even the top scoring team in the jumps, but in the sprints and distance events, Edwin Allen was dominant, outscoring Hydel by more than 80 points. Coach Corey Bennett knows that to dethrone Edwin Allen, that situation must be rectified quickly. St. Jago‘s task in rebuilding for 2017 will not be easy. The will lose top senior athletes like Natalliah Whyte, Shanice Reid, Nelda Huggins and Andrenette Knight. Those athletes were the heart of the St. Jago challenge and they will not be easily replaced. The problem is compounded by the fact that they scored no points in the middle and long distance events and no serious challenge can be mounted against Edwin Allen, with that type of weakness. They should however be able to dominate the throwing events with former Edwin Allen throwing coach Marlon Gayle now on the St. Jago coaching staff. Holmwood and Vere are two schools that have dominated Girls’ Championships in previous years, but have not mounted a serious challenge in the last few. Holmwood remains competitive on the track, but are now very weak in the field events. Compared with their rivals, they scored POINTS BY CLASS SCHOOL I II III IV OPEN TOTAL 1.

Vere on the other hand continue to hold their own in the distance and hurdling events, but in great contrast to previous years are quite weak in the sprints which also causes them to score few points in the critical relays. Even though they have two of the best jumpers in Carifta medalists Lamara Distin and Britany Anderson, they had woeful scores in the jumping events. At this point in time, no other school has a realistic chance of winning the Girls’ Champs title in the immediate future, but it has never been all about winning the coveted title. Instead, teams will continue to develop and showcase their stars who usually go on to represent their country at the youth, junior and senior levels. Athletes like sprint hurdler Daszay Freeman of Manchester, Anna-Kay-Allen and Julien Alfred of St. Catherine and Stacey-Ann Williams of St. Elizabeth, as a school, might have little or no chance of winning the Championship title but will continue to win individual medals and make their school proud. There are a number of outstanding athletes who will be saying goodbye. At the top of the list are Shannon Kalawan (Edwin Allen), Rochelle Burton (Camperdown) and Junelle Bromfield (St. Elizabeth) who all won individual medals at the 2016 World Junior games, while Natalliah Whyte won a gold medal at the 2014 youth Olympic games. Other athletes who did their school and country proud are Shanice Reid, Janelle Fullerton and, Andrenette Knight, Britny Kerr, Samara Spencer, Semoy Hemmings, Shanice Love , Zinedine Russell, Sydney Marshall, Teresha Jacobs and Ashley Williams who were medal winners at Champs and at the Carifta games. We say goodbye to those young ladies and we will continue to follow their track and field exploits as they make their transition to the college system at home and abroad.
