Athletics : CEMS Rules The Waves

The Charles E. Mills Secondary School, out of Sandy Point, St. Kitts, successfully defended their Federation High Schools championship trophy, to make it an 8-peat, on Sunday 17th March.

The Secondary Schools in the federation were engaged in fierce athletic competition over the period, Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th March, sponsored in the main by the TDC group of companies.

Two days of the competition were held in St. Kitts, featuring the field events and the next two days were held at the Nevis Athletic Stadium—a historic first.

As the meet climaxed on Sunday 17th March, persons in attendance admitted to the reality that the crowd was even bigger than the ones normally seen at the Interprimary meet.

Except for one unsavoury event, the crowd was generally well-behaved.

There were some truly exciting races over the two days at the Mondo track and the crowd was into it, big time, with horns blaring.

The Final Medal Count Was:

CEMS- 25 Gold; 28 Silvers; 15 Bronzes

CSS 16 Gold; 24 Silvers; 16 Bronzes

BHS-14 Gold; 15 Silvers; 20 Bronzes
