    KINGSTON; Jamaica – Raheem Chambers of Belmont and New Providence’s Safiya Thompson were the stars of the four-day INSPORTS/Swizzzle Primary Champs, which ended with Naggo Head atop the overall standing, at the National Stadium on Saturday (8 May).
    Naggo Head topped the standing with 187 points, 59 points ahead of New Providence (128), St. Catherine (94), Portsmouth (93) and St. Benedicts (88).
    Naggo Head’s coach Floyd Coke said things were easier for his team than it was last year.
    He said “because we were able to score in all areas, and our rivals couldn’t, I think it was much easier than last year …. but in the end, it was a team effort,” he said while giving credit to his coaching staff.


    Chambers, however, was the one that brought the entire grandstand to their feet, first by running away with the Class One (Age 11-12) boys 100m in 11.98…a huge victory it was as he beat Raje Fearon, who ran 11.90 for the new record in the semi-finals on Thursday. Fearon was second in 12.21.
    In the 200m, Chambers was even more impressive as he came from back to erase the old record of 24.58 with a sizzling 24.13 seconds. Again, Fearon, who cried after his defeat in the 100m final, had to settle for second in 24.25, this after leading into the final stages.
    He said he was not surprised with his sprint double victory…”I was not surprised because I trained very hard for this (Championships),” said Chambers.
    “It was very challenging, but I did a lot of strengthening work and it helped me here,” added Chambers, who said he hopes to join the Red Hills Road-based Calabar High School in September.
    Fearon finally had something to celebrate when he took his team to victory, coming from way behind, in the 4×200m open final.
    In the girls’ section, Thompson took the Class One 100m in 13.19 ahead of Imani Hussey of Cassava River (13.40) and returned to wrap up the double with a 27.02 win in the 200m.
    Thompson, however, walked away with four gold medals as she anchored her school to victories in the 4×100m and 4×200m events.
    Akeem McLean of Seaview Gardens also stamped his class in the Class Three sprint, winning the 100m in 13.71 and 150m in 20.74.
    Other final day impressive performances came in the form of records. Brittani Thompson of Morant Bay ran 11.41 to erase the old mark of 11.47 in the girls’ 70m hurdles open, along with Cherene Hamilton of Waterford (56.27) in the boys’ Class One 400m and Jhair Khosts (42.95) of Harbour View in the Class Two boys 300m were the record breakers
    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

        Perhaps entry to Calabar is not based on academics!
        The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

            Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

              now, if he played badminton, then that would be a great coincidence, but he probably does not.
