Shantel Rouse of the Campden Park Secondary with 23 points captured the Girls’ Junior title. Keisha Ellis of the St. Joseph’s Convent Marriaqua secured the Girls Intermediate Champion trophy, and added the Victrix Ludorum title for good measure.

The Campden Park Secondary won both the boys and girls junior divisions. The Girls’ High School captured the Intermediate and Senior girls divisions. This was replicated by the St. Vincent Grammar School.

It was a welcome return to the Arnos Vale Playing Field for the schools’ athletics programme, after a year’s absence, as the venue made way for the staging of warm matches ahead of Cricket World Cup last year. (RT)
