Inter Primary Athletes Presented With Medals and Trophies

A brief but significant ceremony was held at the NEPAC courtyard, situated at Pinneys, on the afternoon of Thursday 4th April.
It was just one day after the grand annual Interprimary Schools’ athletic championship, dubbed the MINI OLYMPICS and the organizers made it a point of duty to ensure that the deserving athletes did not have a long wait to secure their medals and trophies.
The ceremony was ably chaired by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education and the list of deserving athletes in the various age categories and events, were called to the fore by Meet director, Mr. Garfield Virgo.
The actual presentations of medals and trophies were jointly shared by the following individuals: PS Barrett; Minister responsible for Education, Hon. Troy Liburd; Director of Sports-Jamir Claxton and one of the patrons for this year’s mega event, Miss Lateesha Clarke.
