Risen from the ashes of two years of COVID-19, the National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships returned with a bang to a familiar venue yesterday.
Amid rhythmic and entertaining singing and dancing performances, the return of the annual showpiece at the renowned National Track and Field Centre was ushered in by Prime Minister, Mark Phillips, Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, President of the Guyana Teachers Union, Mark Lyte and several other dignitaries.
Off to a fast start, the nation’s best student athletes and teachers are vying for medals and bragging rights in the various disciplines in the first ‘Nationals’ since 2019.
