The Charlestown Secondary School held its annual sports meet at the Nevis Athletic Stadium on Wednesday, February 12. The distinguished patrons for the event were former top athletes from the school, Diana Browne and Kenley Maynard.
The athletes competed fiercely in various races, including the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1200, and 1500 meters, as well as the 4×100 and 4×400 meter relays. Due to defective lighting at the stadium, efforts were made to expedite the meet. However, as darkness fell, the event had to be called off temporarily, much to the dismay of some spectators who used their cell phones to provide light.
Fortunately, the meet resumed once some lights came back on, allowing the remaining races to be completed. Green House emerged as the dominant force of the day, finishing with a total of 271 points to claim the championship title. The final standings were as follows:
– Green House: 271 points (champions)
– Blue House: 208 points
– Red House: 189 points
