The marquee 100m races were scheduled to be the highlight of yesterday’s events of the ongoing 59th National School’s Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships.
However, with the exception of sprinter Deshana Skeete who broke her own Girls 17 and Under 100m record, the field athletes were the ones that stole the show at the National Track and Field Centre at Leonora.
Many of the students and teachers who competed in the jumps (long and high) , shot put, discus and javelin events were in record breaking mode despite the overcast conditions.
