4X400-Metre Open
Another big race that might decide the where the trophy goes. All the top teams possess at least two very good runners in their arsenal; however, it takes a quartet to win this race. I expect an all-out WAR among Calabar, Kinston College, St. Jago, Jamaica College and STETHS. The penultimate and anchor legs should decide this race and have the packed stadium riveted, hoarse and jumping on their feet.
At the recent Gibson Relays, any doubts persons had about Calabar’s chances of winning this event at ‘Champs’ were erased in emphatic fashion. It started with the irrepressible Michael O’Hara who brought the Calabar team back into the contest after a remarkable third leg where he made up a 25-metre advantage St. Jago had accumulated. Calabar’s anchor specialist and World Championships 4x400m relay silver medallist Javon Francis collected the baton from O’Hara a few metres behind St. Jago High’s Martin Manley overtook him at the 200m mark like a trailer truck and led his team to a new meet record 3:07.00. I believe that particular moment could have a lasting psychological effect on Martin Manley. It seemed Martin Manley who is the World Youth Champion was surprised by the bold move made by Francis or did not realize what occurred, as thereafter he seemed unsettled and did not display his usually composed persona for the remainder of the race.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
