SAASS Dethrones MDC, SDCSS Wins Again

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada – St. Andrew’s Anglican Secondary School (SAASS) regained the boys’ title while St. David’s Catholic Secondary School (SDCSS) retained the girls’ division of the Inter-Secondary Schools’ Track and Field Championships for a 10th consecutive year on Thursday at the National Stadium.

SAASS, led by a strong field-event effort, scored 148 points, 35 more than former champions, McDonald College. The Telescope-based school also took three of the four divisional titles to spread their domination.

But it was easier for SDCSS to retain the girls’ championship with 116 points. St. Joseph’s Convent St. Andrew’s (73) and SAASS (64) were the only schools putting up a challenge.

Six records including two by World Junior 400 metres silver medalist, Kirani James and Rondel Bartholomew were broken during the two-day event.

James of the Grenada Boys’ Secondary School broke the Junior boys’ 200 and 400m while Shakir Simmon of SAASS (Senior boys’ Shot Put), Rondel Bartholomew of SAASS (Senior boys’ 200 and 400m), Kellon Alexis of Westerhall Secondary School (Junior boys’ Shot Put), Jayon Creedland of Westerhall Secondary School (Junior boys’ Shot Put), and McDonald College (Boys’ 4x400m Relay).
