Bowen stars for Orange House

By Morissa Lindsay

St Alban’s Primary were first out of the blocks for school sports held today at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex as the four competing houses including reigning champions Orange along with Gold, Green and Purple give of their best.

The day was filled with lots of excitement as the athletes ran the 100m, 200m, 400m, 600m, 800m and relays while participating in some other events such as the cricket ball throw and long jump.

Despite the humid weather, there were some outstanding performances led by Karissa Bowen of Orange House who won the Under-13 Girls 100m, 200m, 400m, 600m and anchored her team to victory in the Girls 4x100m relay as she was unstoppable. Bowen’s dominance came as no surprise because she trains with Elite Distance Programme.

While Bowen and fellow Under-13 participant Elijah Marshall of Gold House stood out on the track along with a few other athletes, there were no official results up to press regarding the overall or individual champions.
