With strong representation in both genders, the new champions’ total saw the females contributing 149 and the males, 135.

Runners-up, the Buccament Government’s tally of 230 points, was amassed mainly by the males, who contributed 139 and the females – 91.

Docking in third was the Stephanie Browne Primary of Union Island on 185 points. It was the females of the Southern Grenadines institution who topped that segment with 159 points, while the males added the other 26.

Rounding out the top five places were the Lowmans Leeward Anglican – fourth with 161 points and fifth was the Questelles Government with 155 points.

Topping the females Under-7 were Larrael Durrant of the Diamond Government and Joneillia Alexander of the Stephanie Browne Primary. Both were level on 16 points each when the championships concluded.

Copping the males Under-7 category was Questelles Government’s Nazeo Free, who put together 20 points of his own, while Kesiann John of the Barrouallie Anglican, with 24 points clutched the females Under-9 crown.
