Green House dominate; records tumble at VHS Sports

By: Loshaun Dixon, SKNVibes.com

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - CAPITALISING on a solid lead after Pre-Sports and Heats as well as good performances at Sports Day, Verchild’s High’s Green House was crowned the school’s champion on Sunday (Mar. 8).

     

    With solid sprinting performances across the varying age groups, Green House retained their title at a packed Verchild’s Playfield.

    One of Green House's top athletes was Curvis Collins who smoked his opponents in the 200 metres to set a new record of 23.54 seconds, before repeating the feat in the 100m in a time of 10.92 seconds. He was however edged on the line in the 400metres.

    Shanice Elliot of Blue House and Shafiqua Maloney of Green House continued their rivalry from last year with Elliot taking the spoils in the 200m winning in a time of 26.08 seconds. In the 100 metres clash however, Maloney challenged Elliott all the way to the tape and even had some Green House supporters celebrating, thinking that she had won. The judges however indicated that Elliot had indeed won the race, setting a new record of 12.35.

    Maloney however tasted victory in the 400 metres with a new record of 60.08 seconds.

    There was also a battle between twin spsters Alia Herbert and Alicia Herbert. Alia of Blue House captured the 800 metres event but Alicia however got her revenge in the 1500 metres.

    By SKNVibes' count, at least eight records were broken on Sunday.

    In 2014, Verchild’s High came in third behind Charles E Mills and Washington Archibald High Schools at the Inter-School Championships. But with each of those schools losing some of their top athletes due to various circumstances, many fans are expecting that the race for the Championships title could very well go Verchild’s High.
