And this year, the Green House athletes pushed their way to a well-deserved victory, ending Orange House’s winning streak.

Green’s dominance began with the first race in which they won and went on to dominate the rest of the day winning majority of the races.
Green House’s prowess was stamped when they won gold in five of the six 4x100m relays to the disbelief of many members of the audience.
The day’s standout performer was Kerrishma WIlliams of Green House who won the 800m, 400m, 60m, 100m and 200m races in the U-13 category. She also ran the anchor leg of the 4x100m relay, snatching the victory from the Red House athletes.
