Police Progressive Youth Club’s Alita Moore and Running Brave Athletics Club’s, Stephan James, champion athletes of the Boyce/Jefford Classic IV have received Asics joggers from Giftland OfficeMax for their outstanding performances.
Moore and James dominated the sprints with superb showing at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground in Linden on Sunday.
The two were presented with the honors by Giftland Office Max’s Compton Babb at the store on Water Street on Tuesday.
Moore, aged 19, outclassed veteran sprint queen Alisha Fortune in the Women’s 100m final breaking the meet record in the process while Fortune turned the tables on her in the 200m race.
However, Moore also won the 400m final in a dominant performance that continued her ascendancy in local athletics.
James, South American Under-23 bronze medalist, won all the sprint events including the marquee 100m to be the most dominant male athlete on show.
In addition to the footwear, both Moore and James will receive $50,000 for their performances.
Both athletes had already collected their trophies and other cash prizes. James gained an additional $50,000 for winning the 400m final which was an international race while Moore won $30,000 for her second place finish in the Women’s 200m.
Babb reiterated the company’s commitment towards the development of sport stating that their consistent partnership with the event has allowed them to help improve the quality of athletics through the popular Asics brand.
