By Michael Peterkin

The CCSS Sports Program the organizing body responsible for Physical Education and Sport hosted the annual Intra House Track and Field Championships at the CCSS grounds. The two day event March 1 and 3, was keenly contested by the four Houses, Heron, Amazona, Finch and Oriole.

A new champion was crowned after the two day event. Heron House totaled 655 points to capture first place and the trophy, followed by Amazona with 643 points, Finch in third place with 572 points and defending champions Oriole in last place with 501 points. It must be noted that after a courageous and inspiring speech from Roland Branch, former Sports master and House master of Oriole House for thirty five years that Oriole was still not able to rise to the occasion and allow him to retire from CCSS on a winning note.

Outstanding performances were executed by Allana Paul (Finch), Delanah Allembert (Oriole), Sinead St. Louis (Amazona), Bradley Cyril (Heron), Dexter Solomon (Amazona) and Emmery Edward (Finch). These athletes all won ludorum titles in their respective divisions. The most outstanding performer was Delanah Allembert of Oriole House with four gold medals in discus, shot putt, long jump and javelin.

Other notable performers were Rahim James (Heron), Leontius Joseph (Oriole), Shantal Williams (Heron) and Marcus Edward (Oriole).

With three weeks before the annual Inter Schools’ Track & Field Championships the above listed athletes together with their teammates will be expected to continue their intense training to display creditable performances.
