Wasome’s winning leap was 7.71m, the best effort at ‘Champs’ in many years. Travis Riley of Calabar High (7.40m) nabbed the Silver Medal ahead of Alrick Ottey (7.36m) of Cornwall College. Odaine Lewis of Cornwall College and Ajani James rounded out the top 5.

All the leading contenders progressed after the first round of the 200m for all classes. Calabar’s Michael O’Hara seen by many as a ‘soup’ for the event was the fastest qualifier in Class One with 21.02. Also looking good in qualifying were Kingston College’s Twayne Crooks (21.23), Nigel Ellis of STETHS (21.23) and the St. Jago duo of Martin Manley (21.31) and Chad
Walker (21.29).

The big guns in Class Two all advanced with Calabar’s with Christopher Taylor (21.63) and Tyreke Wilson (21.68) looking very easy. The much talked about Jhevaughn Matherson of Kingston College took his heat in a comfortable 22.29. Michael Bentley of St. Jago was the other top qualifier with 21.74.

The Class Three heats saw the fancied athletes easily advancing. Favourite Javier Johnson of Green Island looked very smart in winning his heat in 22.80. Also progressing were Tajai Jackson and Rosean Young of Calabar and the Kingston College pair of Roshaun Rowe and Oshane Peart.
