Time to call it, Defending Champion's Wolmer's Boys School will win boys champs 2011.
The team was abandoned in September 2010 by its New York Alumni in favour of refurbishing Science labs and therefore had to watch its purse strings during the prepartion but the Champions figured how to stretch the almighty dollar.
A strong JC is music to Wolmer's ears as Wolmer's does not have the size to take down the mighty Calabar or KC without a strong showing by JC.

Jamaica College (JC) might be peaking at the right time for the 101st ISSA GraceKennedy Boys Champs as they had one of the most dominating performances seen at the Gibson Relays in years, winning six relays on the newly re-laid track at the National Stadium on Saturday.
The Orville Brown-coached team won three sprint relays, two 4x200m and the 4x800m, setting one of four new records on the men's side.

1/1
In addition to Shawn Pitter in the men's mile open, Andre Parchment in 110m hurdles and the JC Class Three sprint relay, SWEPT TC lowered their own record in the Sprint Medley Open, running 3 minutes 19.44 seconds to beat the 3 minutes 27.72 seconds they had set a year earlier.
JC showed their depth by winning the 4x800m in 7 minutes 42.61 seconds, as well as two 4x200m races, running 1 minute 30.37 seconds to win Class Two ahead of St George's College and St Elizabeth Technical.
They also won the Class Three race in 1 minute 32.01 seconds beating Munro College and Kingston College to the line.
Brown told the Observer that they were "surprised" by the performances themselves, as they were not expecting to win so many events and said the wins in the 4x200m events were a "big bonus".
"We wanted to be competitive so we put together our best teams for the 4x100m event," he said, adding that most of the boys who ran the 4x200m were alternates.
He rejected the suggestion they might have peaked too early. "Our programme has not changed at all, we were working towards 'Champs' and that was always the goal."
Munro College had one of the most dominating performances of the meet when they closed the day with a stunning performance in the 4x400m Open for high school boys in 3 minutes 12.77 seconds.
Turks and Caicos' national 200m record holder Delano Williams opened with a 47.2 leg handing over to Western Champs 400m Class One champion Waynee Hyman, whose 47.79 split opened a gap of more than 50 metres before handing over to hurdler Patrick Campbell, while Nigerian-born Ifeanyi Otuanyie anchored in the best time for a high school team this year.
St Jago High were second with Calabar third.
Racers, who had won the men's clubs/institutions 4x100m in a world leading 38.43 seconds, clocked a fast 3 minutes 05.14 seconds with the team of Annsert Whyte, Edino Steele, Josef Robertson and Allodin Fothergill.
Kingston College's only relay win of the day came in the Class Four 4x200m (1 minute 36.96 seconds), while Herbert Morrison Technical won the Class One race in 1 minute 26.07 seconds ahead of St George's College and St Jago.
Former JC sprinter Winston Barnes won the men's 100m in 10.17 seconds, the fastest legal time of the year, beating Racers' Kenroy Anderson (10.18 seconds) and national senior champion Oshane Bailey (10.20 seconds).
Herbert Morrison schoolboy Oriel Skeel took the 400m race in 48.17 seconds, beating Devon Lewis of TAPS and Millard Brown of Athletico Union.
