Holmwood Technical won both the girls’ and boys’ titles at Sunday’s inaugural staging of the Burger King high school 4×1,500 metres relay championship, which coincided with the 10K road race.
Lisa Buchanan ran a powerful anchor leg to lead the girls to victory in 20 minutes 05 seconds. St Jago High finished second and Edwin Allen High were third.
The Holmwood boys led all the way to win in 16:07.9. A Holmwood ‘B’ team took second in 16:23.9, while Kingston College bagged third in 16:32.4.
Meet director Alfred Francis was delighted with the excitement the race created, especially in the girls’ event.
“It’s good that we can organise something like this, as it gives the crowd a lot to cheer about, and also it gives the athletes a lot of experience in these types of relays,” Francis said.
