placed second in 40.28s, a school record. Calabar High was the overall winner at the Camperdown Classics in 40.38s but their anchor man, Colin Anderson, hobbled across the finishing line and did not advance to the final at the Gibson/ McCook Relays. The school, which holds the World High School Record at 39.08s is eager to make amend and aims to lower this mark at Champs. Their team comprises a galaxy of sprinters to choose from, however, one can hazard a guess that Tyreke Bryan, Christopher Taylor, Dejour Russell and Michael Stephens will face the starters. 4 x 100M CLASS II Record: Calabar – 40.29 (2016) SUB-41 SECONDS BECKONS 1. Wolmer’s ________________________ 2. Jamaica College ________________________ 3. Kingston College ________________________ 4. Excelsior High ________________________ 5. St. Jago ________________________ 6. Calabar ________________________ 7. St. Elizabeth Technical ________________________ 8. Bridgeport ________________________ FINALISTS Kingston College’s quartet ran out of their skin to narrowly defeat Jamaica College at the Gibson/ McCook Relays. Wolmer’s had started favourite but rested a couple of their members, which no doubt cost them a title at the prestigious relay carnival. At full strength, Wolmer’s is formidable and is capable of breaking 41.00 seconds. Xavier Nairne, Jeremy Farr and Thea Shea, all have friendly schedules, sharing the 100m, 200m and hurdle events and should report to the relay final with enough in the tank to deliver the goods. There is not much to separate these three teams based on their seasons’ best times. Both the KC and JC teams are well rounded with the firepower to stop this highly-touted Wolmer’s outfit. Calabar has failed to spark this season even though they have in their line-up the fast Rosean Young and Chadwick Stewart. 4 x 100M CLASS III Record: Calabar – 41.81 (2014) UNSTOPPABLE KC 1. Kingston College ________________________ 2. St. Jago ________________________ 3. Jamaica College ________________________ 54 Shane Buchanan 4. Calabar ________________________ 5. Excelsior ________________________ 6. Munro College ________________________ 7. Wolmer’s ________________________ 8. St. Elizabeth Technical ________________________ FINALISTS Kingston College has an embarrassment of riches and so barring any mishap, should win comfortably. They were champions at the Western Relays, the Gibson/McCook Relays and the Corporate Area Development Meet. KC’s closest rival is the consistent St Jago High. The Monk Street boys won at the Camperdown Classics before finishing runners up to KC at the Gibson/McCook Relays. The battle for the bronze is likely to be between JC and Calabar, however the latter can shuffle both their Class 3 and 4 team to assemble a dangerous quartet, particularly since the relays usually prove happy hunting grounds for the Red Hills Road team. 5000M OPEN Record: Kemoy Campbell (C.H.S.) – 14:18.55 (2010) DANCING TO THE AFRICAN BEAT 1. A. Rodgers (K.C.) ________________________ 2. S. Buchanan (K.C.) ________________________ 3. K. Lawrence (St.J.) ________________________ 4. S. Salmon (StETHS) ________________________ 5. T. Wilson (Bel.) ________________________ 6. R. Mundle (Bel.) ________________________ 7. R. Johnson (St.J.) ________________________ 8. S. Onfroy (Holm) ________________________ FINALISTS Kemoy Campbell’s 2010 mark of 14:18.55s might be out of the reach of the top contenders at Champs this year but the event is not void of quality. Aryamanya Rodgers have had a dream run in the event since arriving to the shores of Jamaica. The fifteen-year-old athlete from Uganda, has donned the purple and white colours in style. He has defeated his more senior opponents over the distance, including outgoing Class 1 team mate, Shane Buchanon. Buchanon has entered this season much improved and enters Champs with the season’s best time. The KC pair will have stern competitions from both Keenan Lawrence and Shemar Salmon. Both are rounding into shape quite nicely and set to make the penultimate event come alive, SEASON’S BESTS: Buchanan (K.C.) – 15:11.71, Rodgers (K.C.) – 15:26.96, Lawrence (St.J.) 15:28.19, Salmon (StETHS) 15:34.01, Wilson (Bel.) 15:56.26, Onfroy (Holm.) – 16:11.52, S. Richards (MavB.) – 15:21.76, Davy (Xlcr) – 15:25.83. 4 x 400M OPEN Record: Calabar – 3:06.76 (2015) CALABAR LOOKS TO CLOSE THE SHOW? 1. Calabar ________________________ 2. Kingston College ________________________ 3. St. Jago ________________________ 4. Jamaica College ________________________ 5. St. Elizabeth Technical ________________________ 6. Edwin Allen ________________________ 7. Petersfield ________________________ 8. Garvey Maceo ________________________ FINALISTS Defending champions, Calabar High School, look to pull the curtains down at yet another Championships, aiming for a second straight victory in this event. Last year Christopher Taylor anchored his team to an exciting victory, resisting KC’s anchor man, Akeem Bloomfield. Both schools should lock horns once more and it is left to be seen which of these two teams will prevail this trip. The depth of the team in this event is encouraging. At the Gibson/McCook Relays, five teams went under 3:15.00 seconds, which if repeated will add to the competitiveness of the race and could give spectators something to cherish. SUMMARY AT THE END OF BOYS CHAMPS 2017 As the noise from the engaged spectators subsides following the running of the mile relay, signalling the end of Champs 2017, another chorus of cheers replaces it. Yes, it’s the sound of jubilant KC spectators reverberating throughout the National Stadium. Kingston College, in a dominant fashion, would have exacted a telling defeat on their main rivals, Calabar High, to regain the Mortimer Geddes Trophy. No praise can be too high for the school’s administration and management teams, which would have left no stone unturned in the quest to sculpture a formidable aggregate such as this 2017 victorious team. KC led from the start to the finish and kept all at bay. When the dust settled, the famed ‘Purple’ amassed a record 364 points to score a tremendously historic victory. Finally, Champs 2017 lived up to its high expectations and thereby sets the bar even higher for the 2018 edition. Final Score: Kingston College – 364 points, Calabar – 328 points, Jamaica College – 155 points, St. Jago – 152 points. .
