FINALISTS
Cemore Donald of Edwin Allen is the 2015
and 2016 Class III champion and is expected to
continue her winning streak in Class II. Her quest
for a third gold medal in the event will not be an
easy one however, because the field is a strong
one. Charokee Young of Hydel, Shaquena
Foote of Petersfield, Brittney Campbell
of Holmwood, and Kimone Campbell of
Spaldings are also worthy contenders. At the
Carifta Trials meet, Donald had to dig deep to
hold off the challenge of Foote and Campbell,
while at Central Champs, Young proved her
class by placing second to Donald in the event.
All of these ladies have run below 2:10 seconds,
a time that would have won at Girls’ Champs
most years.

Over the last three years, Britnie Dixon and
Chrissani May have been two of the top
contenders in this event. In 2015, May and
Dixon placed second and third to middle
distance dynamo Junelle Bromfield, but at the
2016 Championships, Dixon surprised May on
the line to win a thrilling battle. The Edwin Allen
pair of Moore and Robb placed second and
third last year, but neither has shown good form
in recent times.
SEASON’S BESTS: May – 2:09.15, Grant –
2:10.41, Dixon – 2:11.12, Shaw – 2:15.49,

FINALISTS
The Edwin Allen twins, Tia and Tina Clayton
have had epic battles against Brianna Lyston
of St. Jago ever since they competed at primary
school. This year will be no different and they
will be expected to share the medals. Oneika
McAnnuff of Hydel was a revelation at Central
Champs when she placed a close second to
Lyston. She is now considered a major threat to
win the gold medal.

– 24.58, James – 25.29, Sheldon – 25.31,

to win her first Championship medal. Last
year’s Carifta silver medallist Britany Anderson
defeated Harriott at the Central Championships
and is now favoured to win the gold medal.
