St Stanislaus College (Saints) athlete Hilton Moore gave three dominating performances to put his school in the lead of Zone Three at the end of the field events of North Georgetown District No.11 Inter-Zone Championships at the Guyana Teachers Union ground, Woolford Avenue.
Moore made massive first place throws in the under-20 category javelin, shot put and discus events to propel Saints to the lead with 575 points.
In the meantime the cycling and swimming events have been concluded while the long jump field events are still to be conducted after being postponed due to the awful state of the GTU ground.
Far behind Saints with 234 points is Brickdam Secondary while St Rose’s High stands with 174 points, St George’s with 124 and the Business School has 90 points.
And so far defending zone champion St Mary High School is the only Zone Three school yet to earn a point.
Moore, a 2009 nationals shot put champion, opened his day with the shot put and with 43.1m as his best throw he was well ahead of second place competitor Saints Jacques Archibald who settled at 38.70m.
In the javelin, Moore hit 24.05m to once again leave Archibald in the second spot. With the discus, Moore climaxed at 28.90m, Brickdam’s Presley Paul came in second (18.91) and Archibald was pushed to third (17.49m).
Saints was also successful in the girls under-20 category with a first place position in the discus through Alesa Bacchus (19.49m) while the Business School’s Grace Seetaram (15.79m) was second and Jinelle Joseph (14.65m) came third.
In the shot put Seetaram raised the bar to win on her 21.1m throw while Saints C. Paul with 20.9 was second and Bacchus was third with 19.11m.
One level lower Saints continued to thrive in the under-18 category and on the girls’ side recorded a first place in the shot put from Brianna Gordon’s 22.40m best throw and Melissa Neuton of Brickdam Secondary with 19.30m was second. Gordon also came first with the discus at 22.80m.
For the boys’ side Lyndon Wilson gave Saints the top spot in the javelin event with a 45.31m win, Brickdam’s Davanand Daniels was second with 35.53m. In the discus event Wilson’s teammate Charlton Gaspar was the winner from a 23.10m throw and Wilson was second with 19.76m.
However for the under-16 category Brickdam took both sides of the discus event with Lisa Hamilton (11.28) among the girls while Shemar Sampson needed only one throw to win the event at 19.65m. Saints was second in both events from Areta Legall (10.95m) for the females and Darrel Williams (18.50m) for the boys.
Hamilton got another win with the javelin with a 16.15m throw, Rose’s got a win on the boys’ side from David Mohamed (30.05m) who defeated George’s Akeem Bernard (24.35m).
However, Saints returned to the forefront in the shot put event with Bianca Phillips reaching 20.40m to win and Nikosi Bruce scaling 28.40m for his throw. And also performing notably was Saints’ Natesha Seymour who won the shot put (24.10m), javelin (11.47m) and discus (54.50m) events of the under-12 category. In each of the events Saints’ Anaia Mahase was second.
